You can also look forward to a new tour and an adventure game for children. Both will take you to places visitors normally don’t get to see. We’ll share more detailed information about the new tours soon. Of course, you can also choose the popular children’s tour of the castle interiors.

Castle Exhibition with a New Audioguide

Discover the castle’s permanent exhibition, Private Spaces: A Noble Family at Home. Inspired by the era of Ferdinand Zdenko, 10th Prince Lobkowicz (1858–1938), twelve period rooms illustrate how a Czech noble family lived in the 19th century.

The tour features Old Master paintings by Brueghel, Rubens, Veronese, Cranach the Younger, and Panini, fine furniture, hunting trophies, and a vast arms collection.

Visitors can take a tour with a free audioguide, led by members of the Lobkowicz family themselves—including the current head of the family, William Lobkowicz, his wife Alexandra, and his mother Brooks. The audioguide shares personal stories connected to the castle and the family that has owned it for centuries. The audioguide is available in Czech, English and German.

You can tour the castle with an audio guide at the following times: 11:00 AM, 1:00 PM, and 3:00 PM. The maximum number of visitors per audio-guided tour is 20 people.
