Horovice Castle

Hořovice, Czech Republic

Hořovice Castle was built in two parts. In the first half of the 19th century by Friedrich Wilhelm I of Hesse, following plans of the architect G. Engelhardt, a major rebuilding took place, adding another story to the building.

Its final appearance is due to more refurbishings at the beginning of the 20th century, with the furniture of the rooms being carried out in late classicist style.

Beautiful mansion, unfortunately it was not opened while we were there on a Monday. We had a great walk around the back garden which was open.

Recommended. Very nice chateau, great tour and before or after you can buy a coffee and cake in the local café, located right in the chateau corridor. Park is a wonderful place to have a walk around or just relax.

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
