Whether there are really 2000 castles and chateaus in the Czech Republic, I cannot say exactly. In any case, there are many buildings, because almost in every place there is a castle, chateau, fortress or remains of a complex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most of the facilities are very well maintained and blend harmoniously into their surroundings. The architecture is often as impressive as the history behind it. Especially nice is that you can visit many castles and palaces and learn about past and present life there directly on site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We present great destinations for excursions here.<\/p>\n\n\n
Please stay on the red carpet and, above all, don't ask any questions - that will probably stick in my head forever. Our guide said this exactly 100 times during the tour of the beautiful baroque Man\u011bt\u00edn Castle.<\/p>\n <\/div >\n \n \n Man\u011bt\u00edn Castle →<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> We arrive by car in Rab\u0161tejn nad St\u0159elou and have already driven past again. The small town claims to be the smallest town in Central Europe\u2026 it almost seems like it's true.<\/p>\n <\/div >\n \n \n Rab\u0161tejn nad St\u0159elou →<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> A little more than 30 kilometres from Pilsen, in Kladruby in the west of the Czech Republic, lies the beautiful Kladruby Monastery with its associated castle building. I was very impressed by the visit to the monastery church, what a beautiful and above all large building.<\/p>\n <\/div >\n \n \n Kladruby Monastery →<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> Anyone coming to \u010cesk\u00fd Krumlov is sure to visit the castle. The national cultural monument is on the UNESCO World Heritage List and, along with the Old Town, is the highlight of the city.<\/p>\n <\/div >\n \n \n \u010cesk\u00fd Krumlov Castle →<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> Who doesn't know the popular story \"Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella\"!? What I didn't know until now, is that the filming of 1972 also took place in the Czech castle of \u0160vihov. But that's not the only good reason to visit the castle, there's a lot to see.<\/p>\n <\/div >\n \n \n \u0160vihov Castle →<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> Very close to Karlovy Vary in western Bohemia is the small town of Be\u010dov nad Teplou (Petschau in German) and there you will find the Be\u010dov Castle. The location itself is idyllic - in the valley of the Tepl\u00e1 River in the nature reserve of the Imperial Forest.<\/p>\n <\/div >\n \n \n Be\u010dov Castle →<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> Loket Castle is especially famous for its exposed location. The river Eger runs in the Czech Republic in an almost circular river loop around a granite rock. And it is precisely on these rocks that Loket Castle stands.<\/p>\n <\/div >\n \n \n Loket Castle →<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> When thinking of Prague Castle, everyone first thinks of the city's tourist highlight. Only very few visitors are drawn to the second Prague Castle, the Vy\u0161ehrad.<\/p>\n <\/div >\n \n \n Vy\u0161ehrad →<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> Prague Castle is situated high above the city on Mount Hradcany. Generations of builders have shaped the history of the castle over the centuries. Today the castle is the residence of the Czech president.<\/p>\n <\/div >\n \n \n The Prague Castle →<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Whether there are really 2000 castles and chateaus in the Czech Republic, I cannot say exactly.
