The history of Nelahozeves Château dates from the 16th century. The Renaissance building was very advanced and comfortable for its time, so there was never a need for major modifications or rebuilding work. The castle façade is impressively ornate with numerous decorative elements and sgraffitos depicting ancient mythology and old-testament scenes.  The château is now back in the hands of its original owners – the princely family Lobkowicz, and houses their rich art collections.
