Skalka Castle

Skalka Castle is a baroque structure in Podbřezí built with terraced grounds and a viewing pavilion integrated into its design. The building combines stone construction with landscaped gardens and multiple levels that flow into the surrounding area.

The castle was designed during the baroque period and is now protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic. This designation preserves the structure and its architectural heritage for future generations.

The castle displays baroque elements in its sculptures and decorative details that visitors can observe today, reflecting the craftsmanship of that era. These features appear throughout the stairways and across the building's exterior surfaces.

The castle sits in the Rychnov nad Kněžnou area and is reachable by established paths. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes as the terraced gardens involve multiple levels and climbing.

The terraced design was deliberately connected to the natural landscape, with multiple levels working with the slope rather than against it. This approach creates viewpoints from different heights, making the terrain itself part of the experience.
