| Visiting several castles, perhaps we experienced the most exciting feelings.
The entrance prices were rather cheap that time. The most beautiful castle in the Czech Republic is considered to be Konopište. Built in the
XIII century and rebuilt in XIX, it is a magnificent building with seven
towers. The residence of Archduke Franz Ferdinand was situated on the
boundary of XIX-XX centuries exactly in this castle. The collection of
various works of art became a pearl of Konopište and be capable
to please true connoisseurs’ eye. When the rays of the setting
sun sink below the horizon around Prague, it's time to make a fascinating
journey to the castle Detenice. The road will not take you much time;
an old castle is situated 80 kilometers from the city. Outside is a magnificent
red and white palace designed in the best traditions of the Baroque style.
You can find the richest treasure inside that reflects the life and manners
the inhabitants of the castle of different ages. Lacy white-stone castle, one of finest buildings in the Czech Republic, an old Gothic castle is Hluboká on Vltava River. Built in the XIII century, the castle was changed by owners many times. Today it is a center of decorative and luxury art. A huge number of rooms are striking with splendor of decoration. Inside you can find a collection of paintings of different eras - from early Gothic to the art of the twentieth century. Being inside the castle or nearby, you feel like to be transported to another time, become a medieval princess, and waiting for something magical and mysterious ... We visited only three of all the castles, but had unforgettable experience of this! |
