Escape from the hustle and bustle of the city to the picturesque central Bohemian village of Mcely. Our eco-chic chateau hotel is situated just under an hour’s drive from Prague. It’s an ideal location for romantic getaways, spa breaks, family gatherings, weddings and company meetings. Our mission is to go well beyond hospitality.

Chateau Mcely is a place of ancient history, of exceptional positive energy, of balance and harmony, of wonders, of deep rest, of incredible stories, a place where destinies change, where love is lived to the fullest, where mundane cares are forgotten, a place hard to leave behind and easy to love forever. There’s no place like Mcely.

Each of our 24 rooms is decorated in a different style, each has its own name, and each is furnished with maximum care and with an emphasis on the smallest detail.

The first floor is a showcase of the continents, while the second floor is a showcase of time and important visitors to the chateau. The third floor is home to the Agape Presidential Suite, with the most beautiful views of the surrounding English park and the St George Forest.

Our restaurant’s creative team carefully prepares seasonal menus using ingredients primarily from local suppliers, the chateau gardens, and our own smokehouse under the guiding hand of our experienced executive chef Honza Štěrba. The restaurant also features the delightful Bellavista Patio, a conservatory-style space with views of the English park.

The Mcely Bouquet Spa is dedicated to nature, inspired by herbal aromatherapy. Here you can stop time for a little while and pamper yourself in our oasis of calm and beauty.

Chateau Mcely was established with the goal of creating a place where one could soak up the elixir of life from an infinite wellspring. Our guests come here to relax and refresh, to connect to the magic that flows through the surrounding countryside, and most of all, to listen to their own souls – to those messages that we don’t pay quite enough attention to.

THE HISTORY
Mcely is a picturesque village with original historical wooden buildings and a Baroque church dating back to the 16th century. It currently has about 300 residents and the surrounding countryside is a popular area for recreation, primarily for those from nearby Prague. And what about the chateau itself?

• 1000 BC The inhabitants of the Bohemian basin had already built a stronghold in this area 1000 years before Christ, and the ancient Celts left visible traces near Mcely.
• 1252 The first reliable evidence of the existence of a settlement with the unusual old-Czech name of Mcely can be found on an old parchment from the year 1252.
• 1653 Count Jan Kristian of Valdstejn built the first chateau on Vinice Hill.
• 1808 Baron Jan Filip Wessenberg-Ampringen bought the chateau.
• 1841 The dilapidated Baroque chateau was rebuilt as a new residence in an austere classical style. Jindrich, the son of Baron Jan Filip Wessenberg-Ampringen, moved into the chateau with his family. The manor remained in the family’s hands until 1859.
• 1849 According to old records, nine years before a similar event in Lourdes, the Virgin Mary appeared to three little girls in the small field between Chateau Mcely and the church. A series of reported visions of the Virgin is known as the “Mcely Miracles”.
• 1863 From 1863 to 1869 numerous members of the family of Count Boos-Waldeck occupied the chateau.
• 1869 In 1869 Count Filip Boos-Waldeck sold Chateau Mcely estate to Prince Hugo Maxmilian of the Thurn-Taxis noble family, which had its principal seat in nearby Loučeň. The prince and his descendants owned Chateau Mcely until 1948. To this day, tales are told about the abandon of revels of the young Thurn-Taxis family, the hunts with horses and hounds, and lavish parties with ballet dancers and actresses, kennels and racing stables, and all the luxuries of aristocratic life of the time.
• 1903 The west wing of the chateau had to be demolished because of its poor foundations. Costly renovation of the chateau was required when Prince Erich Thurn-Taxis married Countess Gabriela Kinsky. Their family lived at Chateau Mcely until 1925.
• 1939 After the death of Prince Alexandre Jan, Chateau Mcely became the family home and administrative centre of his grandson, Prince Luigiho della Torre e Tasso and his wife Fanny Goodyear.
• 1948 Chateau Mcely was used by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of the Interior. The chateau was reduced to a dilapidated state.
• 2004 The demanding and extensive renovation of Chateau Mcely began on June 15 by Inéz and James Cusumano.
• 2006 Chateau Mcely opened its gates to its first guests.
• 2010 Renovation of the other half of the park and the birth of the MCELY BOUQUET SPA.

All of the chateau’s services for children relate thematically to the book – the stylishly furnished suite, the princess feast, relaxation in the spa, and even an original collection of cute gifts from Princess Nely.

DELUXE ROOM
We have three spacious rooms in this category. On the first floor, you’ll find the Europe and Northern Seas rooms, and on the second floor, the Wings of Fame room. Two of those rooms can be prepared as a twin.

PIANO NOBILE RESTAURANT
At Piano Nobile, which regularly ranks among the best restaurants in the Czech Republic, a creative team led by the experienced chef Jan Štěrba prepares delicacies for our guests. Jan takes inspiration from nature, the surrounding forests, the local Nine Flowers herbal tradition, and the traditional family recipes of the chateau owners, the Cusumano family.

THE ALCHIMIST CLUB
The Alchemist Club is located in the chateau’s cellar and is a wonderful place to sit with a glass of wine or cognac after dinner. The Alchemist Club is the favorite place of the chateau’s owner Jim Cusumano, who is often called a “neo-alchemist” by his friends. This is perhaps why you can find here an original jukebox that Jim brought to Chateau Mcely from his family residence in California.

THE WINE CELLAR
The wine cellar at Piano Nobile holds over 1,000 bottles of 260 different wines from all over the world, including world-famous Bordeaux wines. Our cellar also features a comprehensive selection of wines from one of the most renowned Czech vintners, Jiří Hort, whose wines, without exaggeration, have conquered the world.

A full 81% of respondents said that improving their mental well-being, minimizing stress and having a caring attitude were more important to them than career progression.

Did you know that marketing experts worldwide choose Chateau Mcely – and we’re located just under an hour’s drive from Prague? For example, the team from Jo Malone came to us to develop a new creative strategy against the variety of Mcely backdrops, experiences, and emotional sensations.

In the comfort of our chateau in the middle of our English park and the St. George Forest, we’ll take care of everything – we would be happy to put together a tailor-made experiential program for you. But we are also happy to organize smaller or larger events, such as introducing a new car model, company parties, or whatever you desire.

YOGA RETREATS
Thanks to Chateau Mcely’s energy and atmosphere, it has become a popular location for yoga weekends and retreats. Organize a yoga weekend for your clients in our oasis of calm. We’ll help you achieve inner harmony and balance of body, mind, and soul.

THE CHATEAU GROUNDS
The park cradles the chateau in its arms like a precious gem. It’s the energy source for the chateau, a magic ring that encircles and protects it. Today it has an area of five hectares and is proud of its over 150 years of tradition.

MCELY SUMMER CLUB
In the middle of the chateau park, hidden amongst greenery and a flowery meadow, you’ll find a spot for a bit of carefree summer relaxation. A natural swimming lake surrounded by lounge chairs, wooden garden beds, a summer bar with Champagne, cocktails, and fresh crudités.

Throughout the summer, our friendly beach boy or beach girl will ensure your comfort. The “biotop” swimming lake, in true Chateau Mcely environmentally-friendly style, has a natural filtration system using stones, gravel, and water plants.

OUTDOOR SAUNA & JACUZZI 
If you want to completely cleanse your body and mind, all you need to do is spend some time in our outdoor sauna, similar to the traditional Russian spa. Even during the winter, after guests have properly warmed themselves, they can cool down in the adjacent natural swimming lake. Next to the sauna there is a spacious romantic Jacuzzi under the wide Bohemian sky.

THE FOUNTAIN OF FULFILLED WISHES 
The location where the original fountain used to stand was a favourite place for aristocratic families staying at the chateau to rest, and now a new sandstone fountain designed by Oto Bláha occupies this spot.

In the evening, the water is flooded by violet shadows, reminiscent of the flow of positive healing energy between the heavens and earth at the very spot where the Mcely Miracles occurred.

PRINCESS JULINKA’S COTTAGE
Young Prince Alexander della Torre e Tasso, also known as Sasha, was born at the chateau and grew up here during the Second World War. Now he has been replaced by young Julia, known to her family and friends as Julinka. Her parents love her just as devoutly, which is why they had a children’s cottage built on the foundation of the original cottage of Prince Alexander.

CHILDREN’S PLAYGROUND
A slide leads directly from Princess Julinka’s Cottage to the children’s playground with its large sandbox and swings. Mud pie tins, shovels and pails are waiting in the sandbox for little architects to design and build the castles of their dreams in the sand.

FIRE PIT
Visit the fire pit and enjoy nostalgic memories of your childhood by roasting our homemade sausages, best enjoyed with fresh bread, salad and cold draft beer. And if you are an experienced camper, feel free to sing songs by the roaring fire.

INSECT HOTEL
When we renovated our park at Chateau Mcely, we did not want to disturb its natural ecosystem by removing wood and its little inhabitants from the area, so we built a unique “hotel” with ideal conditions for them. Natural science enthusiasts can borrow a magnifying glass from our reception to view the insects as they go about their daily work.

NATURAL WALK FOR HEALTH
An experienced fitness trainer has put together a training program and a healthy walk for guests of Chateau Mcely. Along with natural fitness stations embedded in the surrounding landscape, the walk-for-health makes use of steep pathways and staircases that connect the individual terraces throughout the park.

MULTI FUNCTIONAL SPORTS COURT
For those who love tennis, football-tennis (volleyball played with the feet) or basketball, we’ve built a modern sports court in the lower section of the park with a special surface amenable to each of these sports.

Take your friends with you, and perhaps play a little tournament. Our team will take care of your refreshments and the subsequently well-deserved relaxation in our Mcely Bouquet Spa.

HERBAL & FLOWER GARDEN
Take a moment to stop in the heart of the park – the kingdom of the chateau’s gardener. Smell the basil, lemon balm, and oregano, or the mint and the flowers grown for decorating the chateau.

Throughout the park, a collection of herbs called the Nine Flowers grows on nine different slopes. These herbs are used in our spa and in the chateau laboratory as part of the natural ingredients to create our MCELY BOUQUET cosmetic products.

HONEY PAVILION
On the southern slope of the park once stood the original chateau beehive, but this location is now dominated by an elegant, yet mystical hexagonal structure. Inside you will find the private therapeutic Honey Suite, one of the chateau’s threesome of Honey, Silk and Pearls, where healing herbal therapies inspired by local traditions of the Nine Flowers are performed.

MEDITATION GARDEN
The Forest of Time and Calm was revealed, where light is refracted in the darkness, hustle and bustle becomes calm, and obscurity becomes memory. A place where one can pause in one’s own time. The “Forest Square” is planted with flowers and new beds, including a “spring surprise” of 2000 daffodils.

Below it, a small raspberry patch was planted. All garden elements are linked with grassy paths. An integral part of the garden is the wooden platform designed for meditation and yoga, with a natural stream running alongside it, providing the calming effect of running water.

The garden’s feature is the sculpture “Mother and Daughter in an Eternal Embrace” by local sculptor Michal Jára. The sculpture, commissioned by chateau owner Inéz Cusumano as a tribute to her own mother, celebrates maternal love and feminine energy, a call to rest in your mother’s arms.

Guests can try out the power of hugs in the privacy of the garden during their visit. What’s interesting is that this meditation garden appeared in the book The Power of Twelve (available at Chateau Mcely) by American author William Gladstone, long before the garden was actually built.

It was one of the incentives to accelerate the garden’s completion, part of the overall site plan since the chateau itself opened. The garden was opened in Autumn 2015.

SUSTAINABILITY
Right from the beginning, it was completely natural for us here at Chateau Mcely to be guided by principles that are in harmony with our philosophy of care and love for ourselves as well as to our surroundings.

This means behaving in an environmentally-friendly manner, it means thinking about the consequences of our actions, continuously keeping on our toes, and constantly doing something more. For one person, it’s a matter of choice. For a hotel, it’s a big challenge.

The Chateau Mcely team didn’t shy away from this commitment and has made an eco-friendly approach their mission. Even during the renovation phase, the architects made certain that the interior furnishings and fittings were sourced from local Czech manufacturers to the greatest extent possible.

Choosing a quality supplier who doesn’t need to clock up hundreds of kilometers because they’re located in the middle of nowhere certainly seems like the ideal solution. And in this way, Chateau Mcely honors the character of the place where it sits and pays homage to the tradition of Czech craftsmanship.

Today, the use of local sources is much more accepted, but at the time that the chateau was being renovated, it was considered a revolutionary approach, one that quickly proved its worth.

Soon after Chateau Mcely opened, it garnered enormous acclaim in the form of the international World’s Leading Green Hotel award. What’s more, the hotel’s standards increased many-fold because of this eco-friendly behavior. Chateau Mcely become the first five-star green hotel in the Czech Republic and the second in all of Europe!

The details that make daily operations more complex make sense in the long run. This applies pretty much to all the wheels in the machinery that makes the hotel tick. Behind our peaceful fairy-tale facade, we’re always busy.

The receptionists, housekeepers, spa therapists, and caretakers all keep the well-being of our guests, as well as that of our planet, in mind. Nothing is carelessly thrown out, nothing is wasted for no reason, and when something actually wears out, the hotel sends it off to a new life by being recycled.

Even the trash our guests throw in the wastebaskets is sorted by hand. And we also sort waste in a place where there isn’t much time for it – the kitchen. Anyone who’s ever take a peek behind the scenes at a big restaurant has an idea of the heavy workload there. On the other hand, thanks to goodwill and good planning, they can accomplish this task almost with smiles on their faces.

The primary motto of Honza Štěrba’s restaurant always was, still is, and will always be: Local ingredients! Herbs grow near the chateau in the garden – during the summer, our chefs simply walk down the path and pick them.

A bit farther down, giant blueberries ripen, and roses, which others would at most put in a vase, are used by our head chef to make wonderful ice cream. Try the recipe on page 65 for yourself! To date our restaurant team has achieved its greatest success as enthusiastic growers with the snail farm they set up in the garden.

Snails have never been this close to the chateau plates, and have been a great success on the restaurant menu. Whatever our chefs can’t grow or make themselves, they bring in from local farmers and organic farmers.

The exquisite cheeses, sausages, and meat on your plate come from our vast family lands. Our fragrant bread is delivered from the Ledecká Bakery and fresh fish come from nearby Psinice u Libáně. Our kitchen scraps are fed to the chickens or rabbits that live with our employees or neighbors.

A sensitive spot on the ecological balance sheet is often heating. And Chateau Mcely, with its high ceilings and spacious party halls, needs some serious power to ensure that delicate princess feet don’t freeze in their slippers on the coldest day of the year.

Heat is provided by an energy-efficient furnace, which luckily requires nothing more than wood chips from local suppliers to burn. 100% of our electricity is also green, which is also more expensive. But it’s worth it! The chateau already generates a part of its necessary electricity from photo-voltaic cells.

The water in our swimming lake in the park is heated in the summer using solar collectors. The lake itself isn’t just a lovely green pearl to admire. The water plants on the shores were specially chosen to help maintain the water’s natural balance – it’s filtered through their root systems and a sand filter. Thanks to this demanding maintenance – without the use of a drop of chemicals – even guests with sensitive skin can enjoy a swim in the lake.

Chateau Mcely’s approach to the environment is admirable and inspiring. Eco-friendly guests are truly welcome here. For example, you’ll find an electromobile charging station in our parking lot. What’s more, the chateau’s employees have this amazing knack for perfectly harmonizing love for nature with high levels of comfort.

Have you ever thought about how many bottles of skin lotion or shampoo get thrown out when the doors close behind a guest at a better hotel? How many towels get washed every day that were only used once to dry hands?

The modern hotel industry is drawing more and more attention to such eco-UNfriendly practices, and the Chateau Mcely team is on top of all the latest trends. You won’t find any unnecessary plastic containers in our luxurious chambers, and if you want to keep the towel that you used once to dry your face, just leave the universal symbol and hang your towel on its hook.

With these small gestures, guests can get more involved in our efforts to ensure that we’re not just giving sustainability lip service – to ensure that our children have an even greener and healthier view out the windows. This work is never done.

THE VILLAGE OF MCELY & ITS SURROUNDINGS
We have a very close and friendly relationship with the town of Mcely and neighboring communities. We regularly organize Advent events for the community at Chateau Mcely.

Every year we organize and finance an Advent charity concert in the local church of St. Wenceslas, and for the local kindergartners, a visit by St. Nicholas and the devil in the chateau halls and visits to our park and playground with refreshments.

We support the town and its various projects, repairs, local events, and publications both financially and otherwise. Alleys of new fruit trees are being planted around Mcely, as they were in the days of the Thurn-Taxis noble family. We try to plant between 60 and 80 trees each year.

Rooms: 24

THE HISTORY
Welcome to the magical location of Vysočina. At your disposal is one of the most beautiful Czech chateaus and romantic historical objects in the Czech Republic – national cultural monument Chateau Herálec. Its red towers with battlements have dominated the countryside for more than four centuries. It is like an antique pure silver jewel, that was mined here for ages…

• The walls of Chateau Herálec are dated back to the 13th century. This means that they remember events older than 800 years.
• The first reference of village Herálec is in a 1226 document from Pope Honoria III. Then it belonged to the Želivský Monastir.
• The local estate was briefly owned by Jindřich of Rožmberk, who swapped it in 1307 with Prague bishop Jan IV of Dražice. Archbishops owned this until the Protestant wars. After which, it was obtained by Trčkas from Lípa, one of the most powerful clans in Czech Republic.
• This confirms that Chateau Herálec stands at the place of a middle-age fortress. Later in 1559, it was enlarged by spacious residential building.
• The last of the Trčka’s, Kryštof Jaroslav Trčka from Lípa, sold Herálec to Kryštof Karel from Roupov in 1601, who changed this after several decades into a two-floor mansion with three rounded towers.
• Valdštejn’s general Filip Adam, Count of Solms, bought the chateau as well as the estate in 1623. After his death, during the time of Josefína of Solms, the castle lost its Renaissance outlook and its original furnishings due to a devastating fire.
• In 1708 the estate was purchased by sir Michal Achác von Kirchner. He has established a chapel in the Herálec chateau, wherein lies a beautiful oratory.
• In 1817, the chateau was owned by Terezie Trautmannsdorf, and her son Jan Nepomuk z Trautmannsdorf has inherited the estate after her in 1838. At his request, the chateau was changed to the new-gothic style, more or less a modern-day romantic outlook including a tower, battlements, and beautiful facade.
• In 1861, B. Waschmann altered it to look more Gothic.
• In 1945, the chateau was confiscated, and an enterprise Czechoslovak textile factories were established here.
• In 1951, there was a textile school here, and after 1958, the property was used for a special education school with dormitories.
• The Kaspers have owned the castle since 2004. They had the devastated chateau completely renovated. Extensive reconstruction of this historic and monumental masterpiece started in 2009, took 2.5 years, and was completed in August 2011. It was co-financed by the European Union, through ROP Jihovýchod. The modern and historic details in the most up to date equipment are embedded into the chateau amenities and generous open spaces, this returned the luxury of the rooms and exquisite charm of the common spaces. The Chateau is honored to have had this opportunity to achieve its new dignified existence as a five-star Boutique Hotel & Spa by L´Occitane.

CASTLE SUITES
Reconstructing the castle, we have returned to this dignified building its original layout, so in our Chateau apartments, you will definitely experience the luxury of the beautiful space, something that is really saved in the new project. In the large rooms you will find everything expected from a quality 5-star hotel …. and more!

The equipment of our rooms is really generous. You can use, for example, a gym with a training pad and instructional video, so that you can work out in the comfort of your suite. Especially ladies will surely be delighted with L’Occitane cosmetics. You will appreciate a bowl of fresh fruit and a selection of castle tea blends complemented with home-made honey from Mr. Brabenec of Herálec and dried slices of lemons.

The absolute experience is sleeping in Chateau Herálec. Enjoy it not only because of the calmness of the adjacent English park, the absolute darkness around, but also thanks to the excellent mattresses and the special pillow menu. We pay special attention to the quality of sleep at the castle.

PRESIDENTIAL SUITE OF LORDS OF SOLMS
The unique space of the presidential suite ‘Lords of Solms’ has so many fascinating details that you will be captivated from the very first moment you open the chamber doors. Beneath the ceiling, a round lamp seems to levitate above you, casting discrete warm light on a specially mounted stucco fresco depicting angels.

This suite also has a ceiling with unparalleled stucco details made from lime wood, a beautiful bedroom in the orangery and a marvelous, unique bathroom situated in the south tower of the castle.

The discovery of a medieval bath in the suite floor fill inspired its current design and use. This bathroom was planned centuries ago, yet today you can enjoy it in all its modern grandeur combined with the charm of times gone by.

KING’S SUITE OF LORDS TRČKA FROM LÍPA
The largest suite in the castle Chateau Heralec is named after one of most powerful Czech dynasties – the family Trčka of Lípa. They were so wealthy and rich that they even lent money to Czech kings as well as serving as regional governors of this beautiful area.

Enter the chamber and let yourself be inspired by the original wooden ceiling, the beautiful mosaic floor or the specially carved wooden mirror that is the jewel of this suite. Rest in your bed under the baldachin covers, surrounded by soft cushions.

A huge historical tile stove guards the entire room like a knight in green armor. On top of all that, a real castle secret – located in the adjoining tower directly in the suite, you can find a moresque, wood-decorated parlor for moments of tranquility and pleasant conversation.

GRANDE LUXURY SUITE
For all those with the slightest romantic inclination, this suite is the perfect choice for you. It was the Counts of Trauttmansdorff that gave the Herálec castle its architecturally romantic touch – the turrets, crenellations and beautiful facade.

And like on the canvas of Jan Honsa, you can stroll across the mountain trail into the intimacy of this magnificent spacious apartment. Enjoy the gentle rustle of tree canopies and let your worries be blown away by the wind.

CASTLE ROOMS
With great pleasure, we have to say that everything we wrote about our chateau suites is valid for our chateau rooms as well. They are noble, spacious, fully equipped with every conceivable 5-star standard, and every castle room has its own creative idea. From the largest ones, where the area is almost the size of the chateau suites to the beautifully cozy rooms.

Three of our castle rooms are located in a passage, where once the masters sat down from the carriages. You can also fall asleep under the vaults that characterize the entire ground floor of the castle. Other chateau rooms are not only in the north but also in the southern wing, from what you can choose.

LUXURY DOUBLE ROOM LORDS OF ROUPOV
The Luxury Double Room ‘Lords of Roupov’ piques interest not only due to its generous size of a cosy apartment and its luxurious equipment but also for its name. Kryštof Karel bought the Herálec castle in 1602 from the Trčko clan, but his Roupov based family had already been influencing life in the Czech countryside for 300 years prior to the purchase.

Many of the family members were acquainted with Czech kings, were it as the head clerk, court governor or the most influential finance ministers. While the often dramatic moments in history remain a memory, the comfort of this beautiful deluxe room decorated by the landscape of Václava Kroupa’s painting remains.

STANDARD DOUBLE ROOM BOAT ON THE POND
Have you already discovered the possibilites of fishing and swimming in our Chronicles of Experience? Or would you just like to take a stroll through the Vysočina countryside? The landscapes you will be confronted with will no doubt be as beautiful as in the painting by the world famous painter Folingsby.

Unfortunately villagers in period attire will not be sitting in the boats, but you will no doubt find peace and tranquility by the local ponds in the area. Basking in the elegance of the expertly painted ponds on this beautiful canvas, you will likely never want to leave this romantic room.

RESTAURANT HONORIA
Our beautiful castle restaurant HONORIA is located in the oldest part of the Heralec castle. There, you can enjoy the most delicious meals inspired by traditional Czech recipes.

The restaurant is opened not only for our hotel guests but for the public as well. In case you feel like experiencing true culinary pleasure do not hesitate to contact our F&B Manager or the reception to reserve a table. The restaurant space is no doubt one of the most beautiful historical restaurants in the Czech Republic. The restaurant consists of:

• Dining room of the Lady of Selemberk (Restored according to the founding of a significant Czech Bohemian noble family Trčků of Lípa.)
• Dining Room Before the Storm (This place we gave tribute to the Herálec natives, the famous Czech painter Adolf Kosárka, whose beautiful work of the same name beautifies the space of this dining room.)
• AGASIA Café (From here you can enjoy a beautiful view of the chateau parter. In the café you can enjoy a rich breakfast or relax with an afternoon coffee.)
• The Lounge IN THE TOWER (Provides enough privacy and is so suitable for closed groups of up to 8 people or families with children.)
• Chateau bar (Here you will find a delicious menu of alcoholic beverages.)
• Wine cellar BISHOP JOHN (You will enjoy the best Czech and world wines.)
• In the summer, all of our guests can dine in our castle courtyard or directly in the English park. A wide offering of picnic baskets is also available to all our guests.

A wonderful castle hotel is only half as good if it doesn’t have an amazing restaurant that offers exquisite gourmet experiences. The culinary experience in our restaurant is enhanced by our beautiful, hand-made glasses and chalices that remind one of the Murano glasswork style, each individually colored to resemble stained glass windows.

These masterful replicas of ancient chalices are truly inspirational conversation starters. When it comes to food, we prepare everything with love and passion, being great advocates of the slow-food movement. The concept of our restaurant’s gastronomy derives from the best of traditional Czech cuisine, combining it with fresh and modern inspirations.

This way, even the most demanding guest is satisfied. We try to utilize as many regional ingredients and products as possible, something that is immediately palpable in both the smell and taste of our foods. Our ambition is also to cook without any chemical additives, artificial coloring or flavors.

WINE CELLAR
Descending down a narrow staircase carved into stone walls, you enter our wine cellar of Bishop John. Here, you can find it all – red, white, rose and port wines, as well as sparkling and sweet wines.

After cruising the Vysocina countryside all day, a glass of the most elegant beverage will no doubt delight most people. Here in the wine cellar you can not only venture to taste various wines, but also order delicatessen from our kitchen such as fine cheese & salami plates.

The cellar is located in the spot where a medieval fortress once stood, the castle lords and ladies hiding in the catacombs. Today, the place ‘hides’ the best of Czech and global wines.

Chateau Heralec has one of the largest collection of wines from the region of Bordeaux. Our collection encompasses wines from more than 100 chateaus. Thanks to this fact, everyone from a beginner to the biggest expert can find something in our offering. Vintages from the year 1982 up to the most recently available vintages can all be found in the collection.

We constantly work on our wine card and try to tweak it to the greatest satisfaction of our customers. It is for this reason that you can also find satellite appellations such as Cotes de Bourg or Cotes de Castilion in our offering.

PICNIC BASKETS
A picnic in our castle park is one of the most beautiful experiences at Chateau Herálec. Resting in the shadows of the majestic tree canopies, you can enjoy various delicacies from our castle kitchen. Birds chirping in the background provide an almost too good to be a true element and if you’re lucky, you can spot one of our many cute squirrels.

You can also take one of our picnic baskets with you on a trip around the region. Whether it is to our castle quarry, nearby ponds, or a cultural monument in the area, you can take our castle convertible, drop the picnic basket in and ride away. A large comfortable blanket is part of each picnic basket.

GOURMET LINE
It is our ambition to always cook at an excellent level and prepare unique culinary experiences for all our guests. With the Chateau Heralec Gourmet Line, we offer you the option of enjoying the smells and tastes of good local food at home as well.

High-quality local products, that form the basis of our kitchen, are prepared in wonderful packages at the reception – cheese and yogurts from our local farm in Úhořilka, chocolate pralines from a local chocolate factory in Vyskytná, delicious dried fruits from Trebic.

ALL INCLUSIVE WELLNESS & SPA BY L’OCCITANE
Welcome to our castle all-inclusive Wellness & Spa by L’OCCITANE SPA, the first in the Czech Republic. Chateau Herálec Boutique Hotel & Spa by L’Occitane presents its clients with a unique place for perfect relaxation.

As the first hotel in the Czech Republic, we obtained a license to operate a Spa by L’OCCITANE. All this was possible thanks to the high standard of our hotel services, the extraordinary atmosphere of the castle, our philosophy of relaxation combined with the magical nature of Vysočina.

Our L’OCCITANE Spa is a guarantee of an unforgettable experience that you would also experience in the original L’Occitane Spa at the 5-star Couvent des Minimes in Provence. Let your body and soul be pampered in the luxurious environment of our chateau with the unique natural cosmetics of L’OCCITANE in the highest quality.

In the intimate atmosphere of the massage area, our trained physiotherapists and masseurs will be dedicated to you with the utmost care and attention. From the inspiring selection of L’OCCITANE procedures, you will definitely choose the right one.

The authentic ingredients of this exceptional natural cosmetics, combined with traditional massage techniques, bring deep relaxation. A haven for your soul and senses will be the interiors of our massage rooms inspired by the unique environment of the Camarque of Provence.

Spa treatments by L’OCCITANE are not just a woman’s way of thinking. The L’OCCITANE brand also offers comprehensive product lines and spa procedures designed specifically for men.

The unusual experience of Spa by L’OCCITANE procedures can also be experienced by non-residents. If you are interested, feel free to contact our reception. We will make a reservation and provide more detailed information.

Rest and healthcare are dedicated to the entire southern wing of the castle. Under the original medieval vaults, there is a private swimming pool with a relaxed chamber space. The benches with comfortable cushions in the window niches invite the rest. You will also find a spacious traditional Finnish sauna, a smaller herbal sauna, an infra sauna or a steam sauna.

Absolute relaxation can be enjoyed in the silencarium – a long arcade under the castle orangery, where the interior with the park connects in an original way. Whirlpool in the privacy of the castle tower will provide you with discreet rest.

For those who prefer to relax actively, the chateau includes fitness with state-of-the-art equipment. For the even better regeneration of your body and spirit, we are equipped with Biosynchron technology.

We would like to warn our hotel guests that between 12:00 and 13:00 the pool and sauna area is closed due to increased hygiene requirements. Children under the age of 10 can stay in our Spa by L’Occitane in all areas until 19:00. Thank you for your understanding.

SAUNA WORLD
In our castle spa, at the end of the southern wing in the extension build in the 19th century, we have created an intimate sauna world for you. One spacious Finnish sauna, a smaller Finnish sauna with the possibility of using natural herbal extracts, and the popular steam sauna lay perfect grounds for you to leave our resort truly rested.

After choosing the sauna of your liking, a cold water shower will no doubt cool you down. You can then relax your body and mind on our chaise lounges by the pool, in the resting area, or in our English park, a true oasis of peace.

SWIMMING POOL
Chateau Heralec is proud of its beautiful swimming pool built under historical arches. The stylish area of the castle spa, where horse stables were once located, is now dominated by a glistening water surface. When we dug out the pool under the watchful eye of conservationists, we very quickly stumbled upon the founding rock of the castle.

This discovery confirmed the fact that the original Heralec stronghold from the 12th century was built upon a rock foundation. Today, ‘silver’ control rods that once ensured that the building’s statics remain intact ‘decorate’ the interior of the pool area and still dutifully serve their purpose.

WHIRPOOL
The turret has proven to be the perfect location for the whirlpool, a very popular spa activity. The whirlpool is located in the castle spa behind the resting room in the Southern wing, where guests like to rest after a nice massage or time spent in the sauna.

The black pearl surface blends beautifully with the black-sand tile work that we discovered on the 2nd floor of the Southern wing. We managed to preserve the tile work only in this very location. For absolute privacy and comfort, you can reserve the whirlpool just your you and your partner, perhaps ordering a bottle of sparkling champagne along with it.

RESTING ROOM 
When entering SILENCARIUM resting room in our castle spa, most guests stop breathing at the concentration of beauty and peace in the room. It is an area of absolute quietness, disturbed perhaps only by the birds in the English park.

You can rest here after time spent in the sauna, read a book or just marvel at the sight of the beautiful magnificent trees in front of you. Lying on the simple yet comfortable beds, wrapped in one of our castle blankets, not dozing off becomes extremely difficult.

It was in the spirit of simplicity and purity that we approached this area with great respect. The castle arcade was formed in the first half of the 19th century during a process that returned gothic era elements to the Southern wing.

The arcade is decorated by simple pillars, upon which a no doubt enlightened stonemason carved out a very simple symbol – a five petal rose. Thanks to its clean lines and graphic purity, we fell in love with the symbol and chose it as the Chateau Heralec logo. Today, you can find the logo everywhere. It decorates specially woven fabric, original lamp shades, furniture… truly bringing the interior decor together.

CASTLE HERBARIUM
Do you know that a herbarium is? Historically, it was always a place used for storage of herbs that the apothecaries dried in garrets or attics of their pharmacies. As we feel respect and admiration for traditions of our ancestors, you can find a herbarium also in our castle.

We store fragrant herbs grown in the castle park in lovely boxes on wooden shelves, supplying our kitchen and bar with them. Maybe you remember from your school years the act of collecting, drying and pressing of herbs in newspapers sheets under piles of books, sticking them on clean pages of beautiful notebooks later.

Go ahead and leaf through our castle version! The large book with flowers and herbs, grown in the castle park, has now its dignified place in the herbarium.

MASSAGES L’OCCITANE
For those who want to experience absolute relaxation and tension release, a massage in our castle spa is a MUST! We have a wide range of massages for you to choose from with everything from classical massages, to lymphatic drainage or lava stone massages.

We are also one of the few hotels that offer very interesting Hawaiian massage Lomi Lomi. The exquisite Peter Beran, who is in charge of our team of professional masseuses traveled to Hawaii himself to perfect his and his team’s technique in this massage.

Couple massages directly in your room are also very popular and are a wonderful experience for both you and your partner. We advise all our guests to visit our sauna world before getting a massage done, as it is the perfect preparation for the body before getting a massage and will only enhance your experience.

FITNESS CENTER 
At Chateau Heralec, we all love sports and believe that working out has a very positive influence on both the body and mind. A fitness center in our castle spa, equipped with the most modern equipment, can be found in the Southern wing.

We did not compromise with the equipment allowing even the most demanding of our clients to enjoy their time spent in the gym. An interesting fact to note – during the reconstruction, we discovered a ‘black kitchen’ in the area where the gym stands today, leading us to conclude that it was once the location of the castle kitchen.

We bet you’ve never run on the treadmill in a kitchen before! If you prefer to run outdoors, our English park and the surrounding forests are also great.

BIOSYNCHRON
For even better regeneration of your body and mind, we have equipped the chateau Wellness & Spa with Biosynchron technology. This is a totally unique form of passive therapy, based on the principles of dry thermo-therapy and pulsating magnetic therapy.

It is used by both professional and recreational athletes, also being suitable for physiotherapy and rehabilitation purposes with anti-stress effects. BIOSYNCHRON facilitates the flow of blood in the peripheral circulatory system (capillaries), which promotes blood circulation and detoxify the body.

This relaxes the muscles; after an injury, it supports recovery and muscle mass growth, accelerates the healing of muscular and joint injuries, also suppressing pain in the back and the entire musculoskeletal system.

It also eliminates muscle fevers that usually kickoffs the day after intense physical activity. Do not hesitate to ask our wellness staff for more information on this really interesting tool.

GYMSTICK
You will most likely not find this specialty of our hotel anywhere else. The gymstick, located directly in your rooms, will allow you to exercise and work out every single body part in the comfort of your own room.

The gymstick is ideal for those that love to start off their day with some exercise, yet might be too lazy to leave their rooms. The spaciousness of all our suites makes it possible to lay out your fitness mat on the ground and work out without any restrictions.

An instruction video, available in every room by the DVD player, will no doubt prove useful as well. If you want to take in a little fresh air, you can always take the fitness mat and gymstick with you outside to our English park. All in all, the perfect form of exercise!

SPORTS & RECREATION 
Our beautiful English castle park is very inviting in terms of sports and relaxation activities. Start your day off with a light jog through it, perhaps venturing out into the village as well, finishing off the run in the castle park with a few stretching exercises.

If running is not your thing, a simple morning warm-up exercise routine will also no doubt do the trick. Whether it’s energetic tai-chi, chi-kung or classical yoga, all of these activities have a special atmosphere in the park that allows one to truly connect and become one with nature. Our beautiful, hundreds of years old tress will accompany you whatever the activity of your choice.

Thanks to our wonderful location in the Vysocina region we offer a wide range of both sport & recreational activities to do in the area. Nordic walking, cycling, classic hiking, swimming in our quarry or in surrounding fishponds – that is only a very basic recollection of the various sports activities available in the area of the castle.

Even active families with children will find something for them to enjoy, whether it will be a bike trip around easy routes in the area or choosing a route from the bike project “Silver Borders”.

CASTLE PARK
The Castle Hotel is surrounded by an English park, featuring the Baroque statue of St. Agasia from the first half of the 18th century and the seventeenth-century Tomb of God.

During the revitalization of the chateau park, the historical composition and species composition of plants were restored. According to preserved historical materials, a circular ground floor was restored and, in a simplified form, a circular historical route.

Right next to the main entrance to the castle park, the gateway has been guarding the majestic beech forest for centuries. For his beautiful oak, the red velvet leaves became the symbol of Chateau Herálec.

In 2017, however, he became fatal, and his distorted root system, as we later discovered, did not resist the onslaught of an inscrutable Highland wind and slid to the ground. For us, however, the hero remains…

We have left the torso of his tribe in the chateau parterre to decorate it with its magnificence. We cut comfortable benches into it, so when you go around, sit down for a moment and take the energy from the ubiquitous green.

If we walk further into the park, we find ourselves in a forest park with a grassy surface and a large tree crown overhead. There is an open space behind the castle, dominated by old lime trees and the central grassy area is defined by groups of deciduous and coniferous trees. Several interesting solitaire species can be seen in the park, such as scarlet beetles, chestnut beetles, beech trees, oaks, tulip flowers …

Approximate surveys from August to October 2009 identified more than four dozen bird species in the park, most of which are parked and nestled in the park, but they can be expected to be higher. From the ornithological point of view, the number of birds bound to the tree cavities (forest birch, climbers, cheeks, purlin, etc.) is most significant.

The most important functions of the park include its ecological stabilization function and its species composition contributes to enhancing the diversity of the environment. It is a significant biotope for ever-ecosystems living with evergreen species – not only birds, but also small mammals, bats, insects, and you can see the castle squirrels.

CASTLE LADY’S TIPS
In this new section, we would like to inspire you to take trips around Vysocina as Chateau Heralec lies in a truly beautiful region. Slowly but surely we discover many amazing and highly skilled people like in the region, each with their own amazing professional and personal stories.

A unique glassmaker, cow cheese farmers, owners of goat farms, honey makers, a family that has been making beautiful handmade blueprints for 11 generations, collectors of herbs for remedies, a wonderful woman that makes delicious dried fruits, maker of exquisite local chocolate pralines: these are all just a few of the incredible people we have encountered in our hotel and whose services we use and offer.

We will begin with stories from vacation time trips with my children, and I believe that together, we will discover many more places and meet many more people so that I can personally give you perfect tips for trips in the area. Let yourself be inspired!

VISIT AN OPEN-AIR BEEKEEPING MUSEUM IN VYSOCINA
Less than 8 km away from our château you can find an open-air beekeeping museum with a permanent exhibition in the beekeeping house no. 254 on the Lower Square in Humpolec. It was opened to the public on the occasion of the 100 years of organized beekeeping to Humpolec.

The celebration of the hundredth birthday of Humpolec beekeepers offers you a stroll through the past. Members of the beekeeping community let visitors get a glance into the secrets of their craft.

Among the thirty-six exhibited hives, you can see both the primordial logs as well as the newest bee dwellings of the craft. Other beekeeping tools and attractions are also hidden in the beekeeping house. Something definitely worth seeing!

VISITING A TRADITIONAL BLUEPRINT WORKSHOP
We usually get our tips for places to visit from the locals, especially our staff. However, the idea to visit this workshop arose from an article I read in the beautiful magazine Venkov & Styl. We told ourselves: this would be a wonderful place for our guests to visit as well, so we set off.

To start off, we have to say that it isn’t exactly close to Chateau Heralec, but not too far from it either. Located in Olesnica nad Moravou, it is in a unique location that borders on 3 different regions. We did not call in advance, but despite that Jiri Danzinger gave us an exclusive tour and truly showed us around the place.

In the humbly sized workshop, he explained to us the technological processes involved in the creation of traditional blueprints. First one of the oldest ways of printing on flax and later on, on cotton canvases. The canvases are printed on with a special mixture of fluid rubber based on a secret recipe (how else!).

After the canvas has dried, it is colored by dipping it into huge vats of indigo. The Danzingers import indigo from Pakistan where it is still grown. What is interesting, is that the intensity of the indigo shade is not determined by the actual dipping of the canvas into the indigo, but by how many times the canvas is left out to dry. The process of a single canvas coloring can involve this dip-dry method from 8 up to 10 times.

Our kids listened to the interpretation of Mr. Danzinger very intently and just like me, they were most fascinated by the large wooden forms. One really doesn’t have to look far to find interesting patterns in this workshop.

“We have various patterns in various conditions, together around 300. Slowly, we repair and reconstruct them, but the difficulty of the process is easily illustrated by the fact that throughout the year, we manage to restore only around 10 forms.

The owner, painter and printer all in one continued to tell us about the strong family ties and traditions, represented by the 6 generations of printers that have worked here. The blueprint workshop in Olesnica nad Morava dates back to 1816.

This specific dying technique has been applied in the workshop since 1849, the secrets of the trade, however, dating back all the way to the 16th century. We really are fans of a closely-knit family and community, as well as traditional crafts, something we were telling Mr. Danzinger as his son Jiri came into the workshop. I have a feeling that passing on the family trade won’t be a problem at all. We hope so!

BEAUTIFUL PANORAMA VIEW FRON THE WATCHTOWER
We set out on this trip to get to know our supplier of fruit juices more closely. Once again, we cruised through the beautiful Vysocina, near the village of Bohdaneč located by Ledec nad Sazavou.

We were absolutely taken back by the newly planted fruit orchards all around, but if you produce fruit ciders and make excellent fruit spirits, it only confirms the integrity of your approach.

The Agnes Zelená Bohdaneč plant is right on a beautiful lake, everything being absolutely clean – it is lovely when prosperity is connected to responsibility, something that I could feel everywhere here. Since you cannot miss the huge watchtower upon entering Bohdaneč, we decided with the kids that we will definitely go and conquer it.

‘Bohdanka’, as the locals call it, is at the height of 52,2m the second highest construction of its kind in Europe. The lookout platform is at the height of 42m. As we were ascending the tower, we counted 217 stairs! All around us, we were surrounded by an almost divine panorama, marked by sheep herds, forests, fish ponds etc.

Zelená Bohdaneč is also the largest beekeeper central in the Czech Republic. In the production plant of Agnes, we bought amazing homemade scoop ice cream, as well as homemade bread from the local bakery. And let’s not forget the reason we came for, the fruit juices!

The team at Bohdaneč isn’t afraid of experimenting, so other than the typical apple and pear juices, they also sell ginger, celery or carrot juices. And they all really taste fantastic!

Even my conservative children that usually have to be forced to try new things were more than willing and enjoying the experience, it just came naturally. On top of all this, we immediately decided to include these 100% natural products into our detox programs. We highly recommend visiting!

HISTORICAL SITES 
The Vysocina area has several historical sites listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, whether it is Telc, the Jewish quarter in Trebic or the pilgrim church of st. John Nepomucky on Zelena Hora in Žďár nad Sázavou. Medieval castles also await your visit – Pernštejn, Roštejn, Náměšť nad Oslavou or Jaroměřice nad Rokytnou are all within a comfortable drive.

The Museum of Curiosities and World Records in Pelhřimov and the Western town Šiklův mlýn can also no doubt be an entertaining way to spend the day.

SWIMMING IN THE QUARRY
When we first discovered the quarry, we knew it had to become part of our Chronicles of Experience. Visiting this place, one acquires a really rejuvenating energy that replenishes the soul. It is as if a piece of Canadian wilderness found itself in Vysocine.

The intense fragrance of the surrounding pine forest is even more intense in the summer, while in the autumn you can rest on our hotel deck-chairs, wrapped in warm blankets, and just relax watching the pond surface.

The quarry is accessible by foot – at 2km away, it is a brisk, adventurous walk -, by bike that we will gladly lend you as well as you via car. The perfect opportunity to take our castle convertible out for a drive.

NORDIC WALKING
For those of you who haven’t heard of Nordic walking yet, better late than never! A condition sport for all ages, accurately coordinated walking with special walking sticks is a pleasant way to work out your whole body.

The effect is similar to Nordic skiing as both leg and upper body muscles are exercised, the back relaxed and your stamina increased. Positive effects on blood circulation have also been found, making Nordic walking a good preventive measure against cardiovascular diseases.

GOLF TELČ
In the beautiful scenery of Vysočina near the historical town Telc (UNESCO landmark) and 43 minutes away from Chateau Herálec, you can find an exclusive 18 hole golf course. This course of international parameters hosts the Czech PGA tour every year. It is built over 70 hectares in a slightly ‘rippled’ landscape full of deep forests, lakes, and fishponds.

18. hole master course, Par 72, length: men 6252 m, women 5214 m, golf school, 2 practice greens, practice bunker, driving range, large pro-shop, a golf equipment rental facility as well as an ultrasound pole cleanser.

GOLF KONOPIŠTĚ
In Resort Konopiště you will find two master courses – the “Radecký Course” (PAR 72) and the newly built „D´Este Course“ (PAR 72). Further, a 9 hole “Public Course” (PAR 30) is offered to beginners and those interested in learning something more about golf.

“Radecký Course” – Master 18 hole course with PAR 72 and length of 6484 m from black (professional) teeing area is a challenge for all players. John Burns, the inspector of the European Association of Professional Golfers (EAPG) contributed to the birth of this course and František Štěpán took the position of the main greenkeeper.

Thus, in cooperation with the European PGA, a very sensitively placed course with a very interest forest section, numerous bunkers, and water barriers but most of all very high quality maintained greens was created.

HIKING
All cycle paths (described in more detail in the Cycling section) are also available for traditional hiking. The nearly 17km long path to Fejtu’s Hill is amongst the most interesting of these. If you decide to take on this challenge, your hike will consist of a 16,5km trek with approximately 564m of terrain changes.

We also have a truly excellent tip for passionate hikers – Zdarske vrchy, which are located not far from the castle. You will discover one of the most ecologically preserved areas in the Czech Republic, a fact that earned it its nickname the Green Heart.

Nearly 60% of the area is covered in greenery, which is why in 25.05.1970 the area was declared environmentally protected. Hundreds of kilometers of trails weave through this land, suitable for both cycling and hiking.

CYCLING
Our region is one of the cleanest areas, created for rest and recreation. It is often called the green heart of the Czech Republic. The whole area is filled with extensive, slightly undulating mountains called the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands.

It formed the former land border between Bohemia and Moravia. The tops of the hills are covered with coniferous and mixed forests and rise to a height of about seven hundred, a maximum of eight hundred meters. The highest peaks include Javořice (Jihlavské vrchy, 837 m above sea level) and Devět skal (Žďárské vrchy, 836 m above sea level).

Popular routes include Čejovský kopec or the route to Fejtův vrch, which are surrounded not only by beautiful natural nooks and crannies but also by numerous archeological and historical monuments. Many ponds along the way are also suitable for swimming.

We will be happy to provide you with a map for your trip with all the important information not only about the route, but also the possibilities for refreshments. In the vicinity of the Chateau Herálec hotel, we have a total of 3 routes, which can be extended to the Žďár Hills.

For the more able cyclists, we have a quality road to trekking bikes for rent, the hills will certainly be better managed on our e-bikes, which we lend to guests for a fee. They are very popular and guests use them both for short trips around the castle and for half-day trips to the beauties of the Vysočina region.

HORSEBACK RIDING
Horseback riding through the beautiful Vysocina landscape is one of the most exciting activities we offer. Guests of all levels of expertise are welcome – from complete beginners to experienced riders.

Here, we have ideal conditions for uninterrupted strolls around the forest under professional guidance. The path around the Boňko fishpond or the longer path towards the Zdislavsky fishpond are one of the most popular trails. During the winter, you can take a ride in horse-drawn sleds all the way to Ulrych Mill.

FISHING
For lovers of fishing, we have prepared several opportunities to catch some fish in the nearby Hadina fishpond. 3 streams pour into the fishpond, two coming in from the town and one stemming from a nearby reservoir.

During more dry summers, it can happen that the tank will only be supplied by water from the forest stream, making the water crystal clear. You can find sanders and carps, but also wild fish such as trouts. The Hadina fishpond is only a 10 minute car drive away from the castle.

HOTAIR BALLOON 
This question will probably be answered differently by every person who has ever taken a ride in a hot air balloon. But anyone who finds it fun can’t give an answer other than “Both!”

There are more artistic and poetic words to describe the experience, but they will never capture the real atmosphere of what you see when silently flying above the beautiful Vysocina landscape, seeing the colors of the sky and land change with every second.

Whether you will spend your time in the air just enjoying the view or have a small air “picnic”, you will no doubt be satisfied and regret the smooth landing that came too soon.

NORDIC SKIING
With many various paths in the area available, you can experience unforgettable moments while Nordic skiing through the countryside. For passionate skiers, we offer multiple options, each with their own unique challenge.

The designated paths lead not only around winter refreshment booths, where one can enjoy warm beverages and regain the needed energy but also around tourist attractive locations. The exit point is Heralec.

Rooms: 19

Price: from 234 EUR per night

CHARLES BRIDGE
It is the oldest standing bridge over the Vltava river in Prague and the second oldest bridge in the Czech Republic. Charles IV commenced construction of the bridge in 1357 and the bridge was completed in 1402.

Thirty mostly baroque statues and sculptural groups were placed on the bridge gradually from the end of the 17th century. The bridge was constructed from sandstone blocks and fortified with towers on both sides (Lesser Town Bridge Towers, Old Town Bridge Tower).

PRAGUE CASTLE 
One of the largest castle complexes worldwide featuring historical palaces, church buildings, gardens, and picturesque nooks was the seat of Czech rulers and kings from the 9th century and has been the residence of the country’s Presidents since 1918.

St. Vitus Cathedral, the spiritual symbol of the Czech state and the traditional coronation and burial site of the Czech kings, is situated in the castle. The Bohemian crown jewels are also kept in the cathedral. The panoramic view from Prague Castle is truly breathtaking.

NATIONAL THEATRE
The National Theatre, constructed in 1883 with funds collected from people nationwide, is generally considered the Czech Republic’s first theatre stage. The lavish external and internal decorations with striking gold plating include some of the best works by Czech artists of the 19th century. Attending a play, opera, or ballet performance in the theatre’s beautiful interior is an unforgettable experience.

POWDER TOWER
One of the most striking late gothic buildings in Prague dating back to 1475 is a monumental entrance to the Old Town through which the coronation processions of the Czech kings entered the city. The Powder Tower, formerly used for storing gunpowder, is the starting point of the Royal Route leading to the Prague Castle. Its lookout gallery is 44 metres high.

STATE OPERA
One of the four stages currently operated by the National Theatre in Prague and home to the National Theatre Opera and the National Theatre Ballet ensembles.

NATIONAL MUSEUM
The most significant Czech museum was established in 1818. Its neo-renaissance building dominates Wenceslas Square. The National Museum administers the historical library, castle library, and public scientific library. The museum focuses on several scientific disciplines and presents both permanent and temporary exhibitions.

OLD TOWN SQUARE
Many tourists believe that this is the most beautiful town square in Europe. Visitors are attracted especially to the Horologe – an old astronomical clock on the southern side of the city hall tower.

The twelve apostles, each with their own attribute, appear in two windows below the clock roof every full hour from 9.00 to 23.00. The Old Town Hall is a national heritage site. However, the square is far more interesting and mysterious and has unique and long history. The square that has witnessed many historic events is the scene of all happenings in Prague even today.

WENCESLAS SQUARE 
Prague’s cultural and business centre is a boulevard 750 m long and 60 m wide, stretching from the National Museum in the New Town to Můstek, the edge of the Old Town. Wenceslas Square has witnessed many historic events.

It is a traditional site for demonstrations, celebrations, and other mass gatherings. The monument of St. Wenceslas, patron of the Czech lands and symbol of Czech statehood, is one of the dominating features of the square.

ST. NICHOLAS CHURCH
There has been a church dedicated to St. Nicolas on the corner of Old Town Square in Prague for over 800 years. The one that stands today was built in the Baroque period between 1732 and 1737 by the significant Baroque architect Kilian Ignatius Dientzenhofer on the site once occupied by an early medieval church destroyed by fire.

In 1920, the Czechoslovak Hussite Church was founded here, spreading the legacy of medieval religious reformer Jan Hus. This organization still operates the church in the present day.

DANCING HOUSE 
Dancing House is one of the pillars of modern Prague architecture, built in 1996, and has become a dominating contemporary feature of the Rašín Embankment. The concept for the house was inspired by the skill of the famous film couple – Fred Astair & Ginger Rogers.

You can visit a gallery exhibiting the works of major Czech and foreign artists, various themed exhibitions, or a restaurant and bar with a viewing terrace providing a 360-degree view of Prague.

PETRIN LOOKOUT TOWER
One of the iconic buildings in Prague was constructed for the Jubilee Exhibition in 1891 as a rough copy of the Eiffel Tower in Paris (in a 1:5 ratio). The top of the 63.5 m high tower is at the same elevation as the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

After climbing 299 steps to the top of the tower, you are rewarded with a view of the whole of Prague and most of the Czech Republic under good weather conditions. A funicular railway to Petřín travels along a 510 m long track with an elevation of 130 m and crosses the Hunger Wall at its top end.

KAMPA
The island between the main body of Vltava river and the side channel Čertovka, also known as the Prague Venice, is one of the most romantic and picturesque places in Prague. Kampa is mainly used as a park at present, and is an ideal place for relaxation surrounded by beautiful nature and numerous historical sites.

JOSEFOV 
The first mention of this city quarter and the smallest section of Prague dates back to 1096 with Josefov being referred to as the “Jewish quarter.” The historical sites in the Jewish town include: Maisel Synagogue, Spanish Synagogue, Pinkas Synagogue, Klaus Synagogue, Ceremonial Hall, Roberta Guttmann Gallery, and the Old Jewish Cemetery. These exceptionally well preserved buildings are among the most frequently visited Jewish historical sites outside Israel.

KLEMENTINUM
One of the largest building complexes in Europe constructed from the mid-16th century to the mid-18th century was originally a Jesuit college. With a long and rich history Klementinum is a dignified bastion of culture and knowledge.

You can currently take a tour of the complex to visit the Baroque Library Hall with valuable historical globes, the Meridian Hall, and the Astronomical Tower, where meteorological measurements are taken. Classical music concerts are regularly performed in the lavishly decorated interior of the Mirror Chapel, with uniquely mounted mirrors.

STRAHOV MONASTERY
The oldest Premonstratensian abbey, established in 1143, is one of the most significant architectural sites in the Czech Republic. The monastery premises include the Basilica of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, the valuable Strahov library with numerous medieval manuscripts, maps and globes, the baroque Theological Hall, the classicist Philosophical Hall with frescos, and the Strahov Picture Gallery.

The olympic palace hotel is located just above the spa centre and is an ideal starting point for exploring all the beauties of karlovy vary. Most of them are within easy reach of the hotel.

MOZART PARK
In 1913 a public city park, later called Mozart Park, was built on the site of the former cemetery. In the area of the park, some Empire and Biedermeier stone tombstones from the 18th and 19th centuries of several prominent personalities associated with Karlovy Vary, such as Franz Xaver Wolfgang Mozart, the son of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and the spa doctor David Becher, have been preserved.

GAZEBO OF ALOIS KLEIN
The octagonal wooden gazebo in Swiss style was built in 1997 according to the design of ing. arch. František Vondráček in the park in front of the Richmond Hotel. The gazebo bears the name of the original owner of the sanatorium Alois Klein. The 14th Karlovy Vary mineral spring Štěpánka springs directly in the gazebo.

The original reservoir, dating from 1884, has been extinguished over time. In 1993, the spring was captured by a new probe near the Parkhotel Richmond. The spring is not taken as part of a drinking cure.

ORCHARD COLONNADE
The decorated prefabricated cast iron colonnade is the last remnant of the concert and restaurant hall called Blanenský pavilion, built in 1880 – 1881 according to the project of the famous Viennese architects Fellner and Helmer. Since 2001, the Snake Spring has been springing up here and from the area of the colonnade, the spring of the Orchard Spring in the basement of the Military Spa Institute is also accessible.

In the middle of the 19th century, it gushed out during the excavation of the foundations for the Military Spa Institute. It was originally called the Imperial Spring, later renamed the Sad Spring due to its proximity to the Sad Colonnade. It flows right next to the colonnade and has a temperature of 42 °C.

It springs in the Sadová kolonáda, where it was brought as part of the reconstruction of the colonnade in 2001, so it is the newest spring in Karlovy Vary. It was named Snake Spring in memory of the snakes that once lived in large numbers behind the colonnades.

CASTLE COLONNADE
The castle colonnade was opened in 1913. It is divided into two parts. The Upper Spring Colonnade is freely accessible to the public and shelters the Castle Upper Spring. The Lower Spring Colonnade is only open to clients of the Chateau Spa, but the Lower Chateau Spring is also brought to the Market Colonnade for the public.

The Viennese architect Ohmann used an interesting idea of the city’s Spring Office to bring a small part of the water of the Lower Castle Spring to a sump on a level a few metres higher into the pavilion. Due to the higher altitude, it has a different temperature and CO2 content. The Lower Castle Spring has a temperature of 55 °C, the Upper Castle Spring 5 °C lower.

JAN BECHER MUSEUM
The Jan Becher Museum is located on the site of the former factory in Steinberky, where Becherovka originated for more than a hundred years. The original factory was built in 1867 by founder Jan Becher.

During the tour, you will visit some of the original production and cellar areas, watch a unique film made for Becherovka by the Caban brothers and taste several specialties from the museum bar. Finally, you can visit the museum shop and buy Becherovka or another bottle from the company’s wide range.

THE JAPANESE GARDEN
The Japanese Zen Meditation Garden was built in 1998 according to the design of Japanese garden architect Dr. Kanji Nomura. The garden was created in honour of Dr Erwin von Bälz, who helped lay the foundations of modern medicine in Japan.

The garden’s circular layout symbolizes the principles of yin and yang. The white gravel depicts the sea between the eastern and western hemispheres, with the stone of Goodness in the middle connecting East and West.

MARKET COLONNADE
The white wooden colonnade designed by architects Fellner and Helmer was originally a temporary structure. However, it has lasted for over 130 years and time has not detracted from the beauty of the richly carved Swiss-style building with its columned arcade and gabled roof. An interesting feature is the relief of Charles IV depicting the legend of the founding of the city.

The healing powers of this spring may have contributed to Emperor Charles IV’s decision to build a spa here. The discovery of Karlovy Vary is evidenced by the relief above the spring. The spring has been lost and rediscovered several times since its discovery (1838). Several boreholes have been drilled, thanks to which it can still be prescribed by spa doctors today.

The spring has been lost and rediscovered several times since its discovery (1838). Several boreholes have been drilled, thanks to which it can still be prescribed by spa doctors today.

It springs inside the former Castle Colonnade (today’s Castle Spa), built according to the plans of the Viennese architect Ohmann. Behind the spring vase is a sandstone relief depicting the “Spirit of the Springs”.

CASTLE TOWER
The castle tower below our hotel is a remnant of a Gothic castle built by Emperor Charles IV around 1358. In 1766, after another fire, the tower was supplemented with an arcaded gallery from which important guests of the spa town were welcomed with fanfare. Later, the spa season was opened from here every year. In 1911, an elevator was added to the rock below the Castle Tower, designed by Friedrich Ohman

SMETANA’S ORCHARDS
The park named after the composer is dominated by the pseudo-Baroque building of Elizabeth’s Baths, in front of which there is a fountain with a nude of a girl. A four-row avenue of shaped lime trees forming green walls faces the front of the bathhouse.

At the beginning of the park there is a flower bed in the centre of which the current date is created every morning. The paths in the park are lined with rows of benches, inviting you to relax.

TROPICO BEACH & INDOOR POOL 
Exchange your winter clothes for a swimsuit and enter Tropico Beach barefoot on the heated sand. With the help of modern technology, you can enjoy the blue sky and let your body and soul be exposed to the warmth and radiance of the “artificial sun”, thanks to which you will feel the effects of light therapy.

A novelty since 2020 is the new indoor relaxation pool with massage jets, which is connected directly to the Tropico Beach. The perfect combination, don’t you think?

The unique atmosphere of the tropics with blue sky and a modern projection of the beach overlooking the sparkling sea, is complemented by a lake with warm water and a waterfall on a rocky cliff and lots of tropical greenery and warm Caribbean sand.

If you have enough lounging on the beach, you can immerse yourself in the heated thermal vats in the adjacent Thermal Park, which is hidden in a beautiful garden, and thanks to the service, treat yourself to a drink from our menu in a geyser of bubbles.
