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.
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.
The exhibition presents several valuable documents from the Lobkowicz family archive, showcasing both the historical and intended, but not implemented designs of the gardens and parks of Lobkowicz residences.
Our Skála Bistro offers a wide selection of snacks and hot and cold beverages with outdoor seating. Enjoy a refreshing pint of draught beer or scoop of ice cream while taking in the breathtaking view of the castle and its verdant grounds.
This year, Skála is already fully up and running, and we have plenty of new things for you! You can now enjoy a tortilla with chicken strips, along with homemade lemonade flavored with strawberry, orange, or blackcurrant. If you’re in the mood for a beer, we’ve got the local Únětice. And for something refreshing, we also have real Italian gelato from La Panna.
Nestled along the Vltava River, and overlooking the birth house of Czech composer Antonín Dvořák, Nelahozeves Castle boasts a rich history, reflecting its enduring architectural and cultural significance. Learn more about its storied past, which offers a captivating glimpse into Bohemia’s noble heritage.
