Jablonná Chateau, Neoclassical château in Jablonná, Czech Republic
Jablonná Chateau is a château blending Baroque and Neoclassical style in the Czech Republic. The building sits between the Vltava and Sázava rivers and shows traces of its earlier fortress past alongside its refined later additions.
In 1729, nobleman Jan Kinský purchased the original fortress and transformed it into the building that exists today. This conversion reflected a broader European trend of converting military structures into comfortable residences.
The building holds art spanning centuries, from Renaissance to Art Deco pieces, showing how wealthy residents displayed their taste and interests through their collections. These works reflect what mattered to the families who lived there.
Opening times vary by season, with extended access during the warm months and limited availability during cooler seasons. It is best to confirm current visiting conditions before making a trip.
The grounds feature two ponds and a park decorated with sculptures created by the German artist Möldner. These outdoor artworks give the property a distinct artistic character that many visitors overlook.
