Staré Hrady Castle, Renaissance château in Staré Hrady, Czech Republic.

Staré Hrady Castle combines a stone fortress with Renaissance structures decorated by detailed figural sgraffito across its exterior walls and courtyards.

Originally built as a Gothic castle in 1340, the structure underwent major transformations during the Renaissance period with architectural elements from Petr Parléř's workshop.

The castle maintains three distinct tours, including an exhibition of life during Emperor Francis Joseph I with one thousand period items on display.

Visitors can choose guided tours in English, German, Polish, or Russian, with access to parking facilities, cycle storage, and refreshment areas.

The castle features fairy-tale themed cellars and a loft space populated by 150 fantastical creatures from Czech mythology and folklore.
