The château complex in Mnichovo Hradiště is a rare example of high Baroque architecture. The original Renaissance structure was rebuilt under the guidance of the Valdštejn noble family, which owned it until 1946.

The château in Mnichovo Hradiště and its entire surrounding manor were mostly influenced by the Valdštejn noble family. The château’s current form dates to the 17th century. The original Renaissance structure was rebuilt in the Baroque style, and the entire extensive complex has since become one of the most renowned examples of high Baroque architecture in the Czech Republic.

Its chambers and lounges house an extensive collection of paintings, fine china and weapons. There is also a well-preserved historic theatre with original 18th and 19th-century set pieces, as well as a library that was at one point managed by the famous author, adventurer, and ladies’ man Giacomo Casanova.
