In 1459 the market town of Poběžovice was bought by a lower nobleman Dobrohost of Drštka by Skořice na Rokycansku. At the latest in 1470, he left the keep and had built a late-Gothic solid water castle called Nový Ronšperk ('New Ronšperk'). Since then he was known as Dobrohost of Ronšperk, and Poběžovice was renamed Ronšperk. In 1864, the castle and the manor were bought by the noble family Coudenhove, later known as Coudenhove-Kalergi family.

A beautiful place for a walk in the castle gardens ?? as a plus piece of history

This castle is the property of Poběžovice and therefore the repair is lengthy. Still, hats off to me for not giving up. Fingers crossed that they fix the lock as soon as possible. It would be a shame for this cultural monument not to be accessible. We love it so much.

It's a pity that the state of the castle is so dilapidated. It looks renovated from the front, but it's a complete disaster from the back. It would certainly be a nice addition to the city and bring in a few visitors

Schade, war sicher einmal ein großartiges Schloss, aber jetzt nur noch ein trauriges Bild...

We last visited the chateau on June 6, 2021 as part of a charity auction to support the reconstruction of this considerably dilapidated building, which definitely deserves care. The castle is located in the middle of the village Poběžovice and the interior has been inaccessible for a long time. You can walk through the castle park and enjoy the small Zen garden. A little bit of history: The castle has undergone all the development since the fortress from the beginning of the 15th century. across the water castle in the second half of the 15th century. until the reconstruction into a chateau in the second half of the 17th century. Just as an interesting fact, it is possible to recall that twenty-year-old Bedřich Smetana worked at the chateau as a music teacher. The core of the castle consists of two-storey buildings grouped around a small square courtyard. It is mostly the masonry of a former Gothic castle. The connecting gate between the chateau and the fort was not built until 1923. Over time, the chateau fell into disrepair and was even destined for demolition, but fortunately it did not take place and in 1989 the reconstruction of the monument began.

Clementinum

The Clementinum is a historic complex of buildings in Prague. Until recently the complex hosted the National, University and Technical libraries, the City Library also being located nearby on Mariánské Náměstí. The Technical library and the Municipal library have moved to the Prague National Technical Library at Technická 6 since 2009. It is currently in use as the National Library of the Czech Republic.

Its history dates from the existence of a chapel dedicated to Saint Clement in the 11th century. A Dominican monastery was founded in the medieval period, which was transformed in 1556 to a Jesuit college. In 1622 the Jesuits transferred the library of Charles University to the Klementinum, and the college was merged with the University in 1654. The Jesuits remained until 1773, when the Klementinum was established as an observatory, library, and university by the Empress Maria Theresa of Austria.
