Romantic castles

How to get to Prague?

One of the most romantic castles in the Czech Republic is the beautiful Chateau Castle. It is the ancestral home of the famous feudal lords of Lichtenburg. The castle is located only 25 kilometers from the popular tourist town of Kutná Hora.

At the end of the 13th century there was a defensive fortress on the site of the Castle of Zhleb, which in 1427 was swept away by the troops of the Hussites. After a quarter of a century the local feudal lords began to restore the fortress. Each new era introduced something new in the appearance of the castle: first the rise of the Renaissance was added, and in the 18th century the architects Shkvor and Shmorants turned the Goblets into an amazing mold of Neo-Gothic.
