Jičín

An extensive formal early-Baroque chateau from the 17th century whose history is linked to the historical figure of Albrecht of Wallenstein, with later Classicist details.

The historical interiors include an Empire-style meeting “Salon of the Three Emperors”, an exhibit on the natural history and archaeology of the area, a hall devoted to artist Radek Pilař plus an exhibit of painted targets of the Jičín sharpshooters. Newly open to the public is a corridor connecting the chateau with the oratory of St.James’ Church, adorned with Baroque sculpture by the Jelínek workshop.
