Entrance fee 160 CZK per adult, the castle is without a guide. On the ground floor of the castle there is a cozy snack bar with friendly service.

A very nicely maintained castle with a self-guided tour. Various thematically arranged exhibits are displayed in the interiors (e.g. dolls, hunting and others). Rather, it is a kind of museum in the castle premises. However, the playroom for children is perfect, offering lots of toys and space. The complex also includes a small garden and a cafe "Spižírna", where you can have refreshments. Parking possible in front of the castle or in the village (approx. 300 m from the castle).

A nice castle with the possibility of a separate tour. A bit of a problem with parking, I recommend free parking at the nearby cemetery. At the castle, an exhibition of toys, prams, etc... Which is not my cup of coffee at all, but it can be a draw for others. Definitely worth a visit.

A beautiful castle that you can walk around on your own, part of it was free (gardens and hunting exhibition)... The entrance fee for adults was NOK 150/person. Dear cashier lady. After visiting the castle, you can go for a walk along the Krounka river through a beautiful valley.

About 10 km from Luž na Pardubice you will find the medieval castle Rychmburk. The castle itself and the surrounding gardens are nicely restored. The history is also rich, you can read about that elsewhere. The last owners were the Kin and Thurn-Taxis. In the castle you can see the gallery and the underground, there is a cafe. Other spaces are charged - without a guide. Some buildings in Předhradí, the cemetery church and the manor garden with a bust of Count Kinski are also worth mentioning. The red tourist path leads from the east side, you can reach it directly from the castle and it will show you a view of the surroundings and the building itself.

Rosenborg Castle

Rosenborg Palace was built in the period 1606-34 as Christian IV’s summerhouse just outside the ramparts of Copenhagen. Christian IV was very fond of the palace and often stayed at the castle when he resided in Copenhagen, and it was here that he died in 1648. After his death, the palace passed to his son King Frederik III, who together with his queen, Sophie Amalie, carried out several types of modernisation.

The last king who used the place as a residence was Frederik IV, and around 1720, Rosenborg was abandoned in favor of Frederiksborg Palace.Through the 1700s, considerable art treasures were collected at Rosenborg Castle, among other things items from the estates of deceased royalty and from Christiansborg after the fire there in 1794.

Soon the idea of a museum arose, and that was realised in 1833, which is The Royal Danish Collection’s official year of establishment.
