Sychrov Castle

Since the beginning of the 1990s, an extensive reconstruction and restoration of the castle exteriors, interiors, and the park have been underway, the object of which is to make Sychrov look as close to its original form at the time of its biggest boom, i.e., its condition in the second half of the 19th century, as possible.

The reconstruction was carried out according to the plans of Bernard Grueber, and all works were facilitated by domestic artists and craftsmen.

The castle boasts a collection of around 250 portraits of the Rohans, related families, and French kings.

Since botany was a hobby of the castle owner, the park received a lot of attention: There are rich dendrological and botanical collections.

Since 2001, Scottish Highland Games (Skotské hry) take place in the park every summer.

[2] The composer Antonín Dvořák visited the castle several times (he was a friend of its administrator), and several of his works were inspired by its beauty.

In honor of Dvořák, a classical music festival takes place there every year in June.
