Králův Dvůr Chateau, Renaissance château in Králův Dvůr, Czech Republic.
Králův Dvůr Chateau is a Renaissance building with two floors, eighteen rooms, and gallery spaces arranged to reflect the proportions and style of that era. The rooms feature high ceilings and large windows that fill the interior with natural light.
The structure began as a Gothic fortress in the 16th century and was later transformed. Between 1720 and 1724, architect František Maxmilián Kaňka oversaw a comprehensive reconstruction that gave it its present Renaissance appearance.
The rooms display artworks by Czech and European painters such as Petr Brandl and Karel Škréta. These pieces show what kinds of art the family collected and kept within these walls over time.
The site can be explored during regular visiting hours throughout the season, with both the interior and park grounds open to visitors. It helps to allow time for both areas since the combination of building and grounds makes for a complete experience.
The 250-acre park was designed by Johann Rudolf Czernin and holds several structures such as Pan's Temple and an Obelisk tucked throughout the grounds. These scattered buildings in the park are as noteworthy as the main house and deserve their own exploration.
