About Czech Republic

Hořovice

Hořovice

A Baroque chateau once belonging to the Lords of Vrbno and Bruntál, built at the beginning of the 18th century; later Classicist alterations were carried out in the second half of the 19th century by the Hanavský princes of Hessen, Germany.

The park is separated from the chateau by a wrought-iron gate and a fence with Baroque sculptural decorations by M.B. Braun. The so-called “Sun Gate” represents the focal point when viewing the park from the chateau building. The interiors feature paintings by J.E. Schorr and K. Würbs, as well as an exhibition of musical machines and an exhibition of cast-iron artworks.
