Zbiroh Castle and Chateau

Welcome to Chateau Zbiroh – the Three Emperors’ Chateau, open all year round.

Chateau Zbiroh is located in the picturesque landscape of the Křivoklát Forest just 20 minutes from Prague. Given its easy access from Prague and Pilsen it is ideal for excursions, corporate and social events, business meetings, conferences and fairytale weddings.

Zbiroh is the first stately home in the Czech Lands and was mentioned in church chronicles at the end of the 12th century. Over the centuries the castle was converted into the present neo-renaissance chateau. Its owners have included King Ottokar II and the Emperors Charles IV, Sigismund and Rudolph II, which is why it is known as the Three Emperors’ Chateau.

The chateau, originally Zbiroh Castle, holds several records:

• the oldest stately home in the Czech Lands
• the deepest well in Europe
• the oldest castle keep in the Czech Lands

Chateau Zbiroh will enchant you with its history and its interiors...

Chateau Zbiroh, surrounded by an English park measuring sixty hectares, has a large number of salons and halls, a gothic chapel and wine cellars. There is the medieval tavern “U Rudolfovy kratochvíle” with its period atmosphere and interior and an original menu. The chateau’s salons and halls include the large neo-Renaissance Alfons Mucha Hall, with an original curtain by the world-famous painter, who spent eighteen years here and painted his famous Slav Epic.

All kinds of corporate and social events, business meetings and conferences, team-building stays (more information at www.chateau-catering.cz) and fairytale weddings (more information at www.weddingchateau.cz) can be held at Chateau Zbiroh.
