Zámek Sobotín, Romantic château in Sobotín, Czech Republic
Zámek Sobotín is a two-storey building on an L-shaped plan in the centre of Sobotín. The entrance façade bears the date 1892, when building work under the Klein family was completed; a third entrance from the park side carries the Klein coat of arms with four joined hands. A terrace above the pond and a park by F. J. Thomayer surround it.
Andreas Eisenbach built an arms factory here in 1815. Count Antonín Bedřich Mitrovský bought the Vízmberk estate in 1833 and the factory from Eisenbach's heir Kaspar in 1834. The Klein brothers acquired the estate in 1844; Albert Klein had the factory rebuilt as a château, probably in the 1840s.
The Klein family coat of arms on the west entrance shows four joined hands, a symbol of the unity of the brothers' first generation. The park holds exotic trees from Asia and North America and cast-iron ornaments made in the Klein ironworks. The name Sobotín is first recorded in 1350, when the village was a separate estate.
The property operates as a four-star hotel with wellness facilities and accommodation options for visitors. Advance booking through the official website is recommended to secure rooms and dining arrangements.
