Zámek Niměřice, Château in Niměřice, Czech Republic
Zámek Niměřice is a one-storey Empire-style château built in an L shape, its southwest wing topped by a Classical roof bell tower with clocks. The grounds also hold an English park, former farm buildings and a separate Neo-Romanesque chapel of the Coronation of the Virgin Mary.
The château originated as a Gothic fortress built in the 14th century under King Charles IV. In 1832, it underwent a major transformation into a Classical-style residential building.
The château served as a gathering place for Czech artists and intellectuals during the 1800s. Composer Bedrich Smetana visited and found creative inspiration within its walls.
The property sits about 15 kilometers from Mladá Boleslav and is surrounded by protective stone walls that define its boundary. The main entrance is positioned to the right when approaching from the village square area.
The chapel of the Coronation of the Virgin Mary, finished in 1864, holds a statue of the Virgin carved in Rome by Václav Levý for Princess Isabella Thurn-Taxis. The château's southwest wing carries a Classical roof bell tower with clocks. The princely family kept the estate until 1930, when Prague industrialist Adolf Wiesner bought it.
