Description
Valdštejn Castle is one of the oldest castles in the Bohemian Paradise, built on three sandstone cliffs in the 13th century by the Markvartice family.
The castle impresses with its mix of Renaissance and Baroque architecture. It has a medieval rock cellar, a cooling tower and a century-old pine tree, creating a romantic setting.
The vantage point offers a breathtaking view of Trosky Castle and the nearby rock city. Inside, there is a chapel of St. John of Nepomuk and an exhibition dedicated to local hermit and composer Václav Karel Holan Rovenské.

ewelina b-u2 months agoAmazing, beautiful, really worth to visit! In my opinion one of the best if not the best in Czeski Raj. There is also a wonderful path in between Valdštejn and Hrubá Skála that is really worth to do.
Peter Knight3 years agoThe new exhibition of the costumes for famous Czech fairytales is great. The young girl that was hosting the tour was fantastic, happy informative and entertaining for the small kids we were with. Definitely worth a visit
Victoria Antaresna2 years agoIt's a very nice place to visit.
The disappointing thing though (that is not specified and worth at least being mentioned) - the tickets are for guided (in Czech) and non-guided visits.
The price for a visit without a guide (Vstupné bez průvodce ) - 90,- Kč for an adult.
We did not speak Czech, so did not have reasons to join the guided groups (though difference was really minor, less than 1Eur - Vstupné s průvodcem plné 110,- Kč)
5 minutes later we found 2 sets of exhibitions (2 floors out of 4 available) were allowed for visiting by JUST guided groups.
The guide we met explained "it's true and may be "unfair", but they still have a room for improvements".
So, if you have plans to visit all available exhibitions of the castle, buy the ticket with a guidance in czech language.
Also, enjoy the views)Related categories
