Advent Festival

This year, Advent Festival will take place on the weekend of 23. - 24. November 2013.

Come, get in the Christmas spirit and join us for the traditional Advent Fair at Nelahozeves Castle.

The two-day event boasts a full program of activities including tours of the Castle exhibition by guides in period costume, Advent concerts in the Knight's Hall, children's craft workshops, juggling shows, musicians - and even a visit by St. Nicholas and the traditional Czech Christmastime Angel and Devil. A fine selection of craft and specialty food vendors fill the courtyard and halls of the Castle throughout the weekend selling high-quality traditional ceramics, crafts, Christmas decorations and gifts. The Castle Gift Shop also has a wonderful assortment of unique gifts, including jewelry, hand-blown glass, postcards and other souvenirs.

Delicious seasonal specialties are served by Lobkowicz Catering in the courtyard and the Castle cellars. Also available for sampling and purchase are award-winning Lobkowicz wines and beers from the Roudnice Lobkowicz Winery.

The 2012 Advent Festival will take place over the weekend of 24-25 November, from 9:00 to 17:00 each day.

Architecture in the Work of Peter Paul Rubens and Václav Hollar, the new book exhibition at Lobkowicz Palace, will open on 30 November and will introduce two attractive books focusing on architecture as presented by the most distinguished Baroque artists.

The book presents detailed engravings of facades, cross sections and plans of Renaissance palaces and villas from Genoa, Italy. The second exhibited book, Castella et praetoria nobilium Brabantiae, was published by the historiographer Jacques le Roy (1633–1719). Also a first edition, it was published in Antwerp in 1694. The work is composed of more than 200 engravings and etchings.
