Zámek Žireč

Dvůr Králové nad Labem, Czechia, Czech Republic (Czechia)

---

Zámek Žireč is a Baroque chateau in the village of Žireč near Dvůr Králové nad Labem in Czechia's Královéhradecký Region, rebuilt in the 17th century by Jesuits from a medieval fortress possibly dating to an 11th-century bishop's farmstead.

The four-winged complex features a central courtyard, added upper floor and tower, adjacent Church of St. Anna with rare 1732 Baroque chimes, a statue of St. John Nepomuk, former brewery, orangery, and English park with Art Nouveau gazebo.

Used privately in the 19th century and for social-health services since mid-20th century, it's now partly a cultural site with gardens, events like St. Anne Festivities, and accommodation amid Elbe River slopes.
