Konopiste Castle (Konopiste Chateau)
65 Reviews
Built in the 13th century, the Konopiste Castle (Konopiste Chateau) was originally built in the Early Gothic era on the model of a French castellum near Prague. Renaissance and Baroque reconstruction changed the castle into a grand stately home. At the end of the 19th century Konopiste Castle was refurbished in the Romantic style for Franz Ferdinand d'Este, successor to the Habsburg throne, and famous for his death in 1914 which acted as a pretext for the start of WWI.
The chateau offers a fine display of furniture, drape tapestries, sculptures, paintings and a cornucopia of hunting trophies.There is also a baroque rose garden and a greenhouse.
