Lnáře Chateau is a picturesque but dominating landmark of the village of the same name in West Bohemia, about 50 km southwest of Plzeň. When inside, you should definitely not miss the massive Baroque and Rococo wall paintings with motifs from classical legends and Greek mythology. It is an ideal starting point for biking trips and sightseeing tours around South and West Bohemia. The chateau also offers accommodation in stylish suites and rooms.
Lnáře Chateau was built by Italian master builders in the second half of the 17th century. The rooms that are part of the guided tour are richly decorated with wall and ceiling frescoes portraying scenes from ancient mythology. The largest room is the two-storey Great Hall. With an area of 240 m², it is one of the largest Baroque halls in Central Europe. It hosts concerts, fashion shows and balls. The ceiling is decorated with a fresco depicting the wedding of Zeus and Hera attended by other Greek gods. In the courtyard there is a Baroque fountain with a statue of Neptune.
The chateau offers two guided tours: the shorter of the two will show you around its interiors, the longer one also includes a visit to the garden. There you can see an observation tower offering a magnificent view of the picturesque surrounding countryside with artificial ponds. Covering an area of four hectares, the park is really more of a large English garden with eleven Baroque statues. The demarcation line where the American and Soviet Army met at the end of World War II when liberating Europe leads directly through the park. The chateau was in the part that was to be liberated by the Americans and was used as accommodation for the soldiers of the United States Third Army led by General Patton.
