Very scenic and popular castle in the heart of Czech Paradise. If you drive in earlier in the morning, you can face issues with securing a parking spot nearby. There's also an alternative (safer) option to leave the car on some free spot few kms down the forest hiking trail and take an easy walk to the castle. I arrived just before the tours started and there was a surprising amount of people already waiting to enter (> 100). Because the castle's name is "Kost", which can be translated as a "bone", the castle very dog-friendly. There is also a restaurant, several Czech fast food kiosks and an outside grill specialties venue in the back, but I found the servings small and quite overpriced. They also draft a locally brewed beer. Nice place to visit for an hour or two if you happen to be around. However, I wouldn't come here from a far away.

Great display of medieval swordsmanship and horse riding. The show was great for children and funny for those who understand Czech. Castle tour was interesting - there's an extra description available in English.

Beautifully restored medieval castle with rooms thoughtfully decorated to give an idea of living and customs of the eras. Highly recommend a visit.

Went with friends and family from the USA. For some it was their first experience with a real castle. Loved it! To listen to 40 year old "boys" talking excitedly about which weapons they would prefer during the times of castles was priceless.

Fantastic castle, well preserved, with good exhibits. Suitable for anyone to visit. A little restaurant is on site, and there are a few tours available, highly informative. Highly recommended, about 1 hour drive away from Prague.
