Zámek Petrohrad

Petrohrad, Czechia, Czech Republic (Czechia)

---

Zámek Petrohrad is a historic château located in the village of Petrohrad in the Ústí nad Labem Region of northwestern Czechia.

It was originally built around 1560 as a Renaissance residence by Jaroslav Libštejnský of Kolovrat after the nearby medieval castle had fallen into decline. Over the following centuries, it was extensively rebuilt in the Baroque style, giving it much of its present appearance.

The château was owned for many years by the influential Černín family, who expanded the estate and created a large English-style park in the surrounding landscape. Despite suffering damage during the Thirty Years’ War and a major fire in 1915, the building was restored and preserved. Today, Zámek Petrohrad is protected as a cultural monument.

Although it is not generally open to visitors because it has been used as a psychiatric facility since the mid-20th century, it remains an important landmark known for its architecture, parkland, and connection to the region’s noble history.
