Chateau Žleby
He gathered antiquities from the whole of Europe, from furniture, paintings, rugs and carpets, dishes, glass and historical armoury to the subtlest details. But he did not hesitate to use the most advanced equipment of the day for the everyday operation of his “Medieval” household where he loved to change into knightly armour.

Why visit

In the 19th century, romantic, even a little bit weird Vincent Karel Auersperg inspired by the traditions of Old England transformed his chateau into a medieval manor of knights similar to those in the novels by W. Scott.

Kačina Chateau

The sublime chateau of the Chotek family was in its time a prototype of a manor of a new generation. It fully represented the rich and politically influential family and manifested clearly the good taste of its owners, whose sideline was culture, arts and nature. The theatre and the library closed by a cupola like the Roman Pantheon have remained the most beautiful premises of the chateau even up to now.
