Veltrusy Chateau

Veltrusy Chateau is a stunning castle located in the Czech Republic. Nestled in a picturesque valley southeast of Prague, this historic landmark has been home to generations of aristocrats since the 16th century.

Its original owners, the Lobkowicz family, built Veltrusy Chateau as a private residence and it was used by them until World War II when it was confiscated by the Nazis. It later served as a hospital during Communist rule before being restored to its original beauty.

Today, Veltrusy Chateau stands as a testament to centuries old tradition and culture blended with European refinement. Its famed hallways have hosted many dignitaries and celebrations over time, while its picturesque grounds beckon visitors from all over the world to admire its hidden treasures. Inside, they will discover an impressive collection of antiques and artwork that tell stories of generations past. From exploring the serene parks and formal gardens, to feasting on fine cuisine at one of its restaurants – Veltrusy Chateau offers a wonderful experience.

The chateau is open for guided tours all year round with tickets available for purchase online or on-site.

A lovely château in a peaceful and tranquil countryside, surrounded by a huge park and extensive fields.

It's conveniently close to Prague and...

Beautiful quiet place near Prague. I was actually surprised that something so beautiful isn't more known. Loved the toilets as they looked like a Harry Potter and the Chamber of secrets!!

Amazing for a day trip on a sunny day with the family or for a date, also for bike/walking tour. The chateau has a romantic atmosphere, you feel like you walked traight into a countryside fairytale. We plan to come back and take a tour inside the chateau soon ! Opening hours are from 10 untill 15, the park stays open.

No dogs allowed in most OUTSIDE areas. Not many trails anyways. Dogs are not allowed in the YARD of the chatou. Its not 16th century anymore, people. And none of this is stated when you pay for parking. There are so many better and dog friendly places in Czech Republic. Not worth it.
