What a beautiful place and free of charge. Leaflets about the chateau and the gardens were provided. A little car park was also available. Noone was there when we visited so we had the opportunity to experience the chateau on our own

Had a private dinner here. It is absolutely beautiful. Filled with stories and authentic artifacts. The grounds are large and the peaceful surroundings is a treasure. Thoroughly enjoyed it

I would return at a different time of year. I think there should be a limit on numbers in the house at any one time.

Strekov Castle

Střekov Castle (Schreckenstein) is perched atop a cliff above the River Elbe, near the city of Ústí nad Labem. It was built in 1316 for John of Luxembourg, the father of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV, to guard an important trade route to Germany. After changing hands several times, the castle was acquired by the Lobkowicz family in 1563. Its strategic importance led to occupations by Imperial Habsburg, Saxon, and Swedish forces during the Thirty Years' War, as well as successive sieges by Austrian and Prussian armies during the Seven Years' War.

Although Střekov Castle was heavily damaged during those conflicts and abandoned as a military installation by the end of the 18th century, the 1800s saw many poets and artists visiting the castle, drawn by a new trend of interest in romantic ruins.
