Zámek Mnichovo Hradiště

Mnichovo Hradiště, Czechia, Czech Republic (Czechia)

---

Zámek Mnichovo Hradiště in Czechia is a Baroque chateau originally built as a Renaissance residence in the early 17th century and extensively rebuilt into its current Baroque form between 1697 and 1703 under Arnošt Josef of Valdštejn, with architect Mark Antonio Canevallo contributing to its design.

The chateau was the center of the Valdštejn family estates for centuries and features a rich interior collection including furniture, Delftware, and porcelain from Meissen, Japan, and China. It houses a unique historical theatre and a library with around 22,000 books that were once cared for by Giacomo Casanova during his time in Duchcov. The chapel within the chateau is the final resting place of Albrecht of Wallenstein, a prominent military leader during the Thirty Years’ War.

The estate includes additional Baroque structures such as stables, a riding school, and a garden pavilion, forming an important example of late Baroque architecture in the Czech Republic.
