Horní Jelení Castle, Renaissance château in Horní Jelení, Czech Republic

The H-shaped castle structure stands amid a large landscape complex encompassing gardens, parks, and water features across 500 hectares of land.

The Gothic castle, initially named De Lacu, was founded in the second half of the 14th century by the lords of Rvenice before transforming into a Renaissance château.

The castle functioned as a center for musical performances in the early 19th century, featuring a 22-musician orchestra and a dedicated theater space.

The National Heritage Institute manages the castle, which remains accessible to visitors while undergoing continuous restoration and preservation work.

Prince Joseph Franz Maximilian Lobkowicz established a significant musical legacy at the castle, receiving dedications from notable composers including Beethoven.
