Liblice Chateau, Baroque chateau in Liblice, Czech Republic

Liblice Chateau is a three-storey baroque building with a three-wing plan, built in the village of Liblice in the Mělník District. Its central oval hall rises through two floors and now serves as a concert and wedding hall, while the lower hall houses a restaurant. The adjoining two-storey wings contain residential rooms, and the farm buildings form a cour d'honneur.

Count Arnošt Josef Pachta of Rájov had the chateau built between 1699 and 1706 to a design by Giovanni Battista Alliprandi based on a concept by J. B. Fischer von Erlach. In 1863 Countess Antonie of Valdštejn acquired it and had it partly rebuilt in an eclectic style with Neo-Renaissance details; after her death it passed to the Thun-Hohenstein family.

The chateau has served as a hotel since 2001–2007 renovations and its main hall as a conference centre of the Czech Academy of Sciences, opened on 6 September 2007. In May 1963 it hosted the Liblice Conference on Franz Kafka, an important impulse for critically minded Czechoslovak intellectuals.

The grounds are easy to walk around, with the main building and formal garden accessible on foot. Visitors should plan enough time to see both the interior and the exterior, as the property covers a good amount of ground.

In May 1963 the chateau hosted the Liblice Conference on Franz Kafka, a meeting that became an important impulse for critically minded Czechoslovak intellectuals. The main hall now serves as a conference centre of the Czech Academy of Sciences.
