One of Bohemia’s finest Renaissance castles, this 16th-century estate is perched above the Vltava River, 35 km from Prague. It features a permanent exhibition, gift shop, festivals, event spaces, gardens and walking trails, and Italian-inspired architecture.
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.
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.
The exhibition also features a new temporary display, Garden Architects in the Service of Aristocracy, which will be open to the public from March 29, 2025, as part of the festive season opening.
