Krásný Dvůr: Holiday apartments and holiday homes

The Krásný Dvůr château park covers almost 100 hectares. Jan Rudolf Czernin created it between 1783 and 1793 as one of the first landscape parks in Bohemia.

Parkland

The park includes the so-called Goethe Oak, which is estimated to be 1,000 years old and today survives only as a torso. The Gloriet, also known as Malý templ or Venušin chrámek, stands on a high hill above a pond. The Chinese Pavilion is an octagonal structure intended to resemble a Chinese pagoda. The Poustevníkova ravine in the château park can be accessed via a large neo-Gothic stone bridge.

Château and history

Krásný Dvůr Château acquired its present appearance after extensive renovations carried out between 1720 and 1724. The public guided tour of the château includes 11 rooms; most of the rooms open to the public are furnished with historical furnishings. The new visitor tour, “Nobility on the Road”, presents the history of Count Jan Rudolf Černín z Chudenic, an enlightened nobleman, traveller and designer of the Krásný Dvůr landscape park.

Digital exploration

Since 1 May 2021, Krásný Dvůr Château has offered the TourStories mobile application as an interactive digital guide to the château park. The TourStories park guide includes audio commentary, a photo gallery, historical views and park maps, drone videos and music recordings. With the TourStories guide, visitors can explore the château park at their own pace.
