Klokočov Chateau

In 1564, Albrecht Rohmháp completed the construction of the Neo-Renaissance fortress in Třemošnice. After Lichnice burnt down in 1610, the owner at the time, Zikmund Rohmháp, moved to the fortress permanently and had it reconstructed and enlarged. Supposedly even the significant architect Santini participated in the reconstruction of the fortress into a chateau. During reconstruction, the original fortress disappeared altogether and farm buildings were added to the chateau. Since 2005, the chateau has been in the ownership of private hands and has undergone total reconstruction.

Třemošnice Chateau

The ruins of the Lichnice Castle (also: Lichtenburk Castle) are on the edge of the Iron Mountain near the village of Podhradí, in the municipality of Třemošnice, about 15 kilometres (9 mi) east of Čáslav.
The castle was probably a constructed as a royal base in the first half of the 13th century. It was first mentioned in 1261, when it was in possession of Smil of Ronow, who called himself Smil of Lichtenburg and thereby created the von Lichtenburg family.
The castle had a triangular floor plan with two residential towers. In the 14th century alterations were made to the castle, which was reacquired by the Bohemian Crown in 1410. During the Hussite Wars, the castle was conquered in 1421, and besieged unsuccessfully in 1428.
In 1490, the castle and estate of Lichtenburg were acquired by the Trčka of Lípa family, who rebuilt the castle in a late Gothic style.
The castle lost its importance at the end of the 16th Century and the fortifications were dismantled. By 1700, it was already described as a ruin.

Lichnice Castle

Ruins of small Rabštejnek Castle can be found near village Rabštejn (administrative part of village Rabštejnská Lhota) in the Pardubice Region of the Czech Republic.
The Gothic style castle was constructed on a small rock during first half of the 14th century for a local nobleman. The name originates in German Rabenstein, meaning raven's nest (because of resemblance of a nest). Current form of the name was used since cca 1450. Castle ownership had changed frequently between several noble families, the king and town Chrudim. Toward the end of the 16th century the place was reported as abandoned. During the second half of the 19th century the ruins were reconstructed in romantic style to serve as a shelter for hunts by local nobility.
A rectangular dungeon (donjon, a tower), narrowly sized building and smaller tower on opposite side were cramped on the rock. The structures were designed high because of lack of space. Rectangular rampart was surrounded by a moat. The inbuilt structure added in the 19th century had pseudo-romanesque windows decorated by sgraffitos.
Before World War II remnants of the castle were maintained. After the war it was nationalized, the furniture moved out and the rest left to decay.
Today, the ruins are freely accessible.

Nasavrky Chateau

The castle foundations date back to 1120, when it was one of the largest Benedictine monasteries in Central Europe. The original founder of this monastery was an abbot called "William", and it is from his name that the later castle and town takes the name of "Vilémov". The monks who lived in this monastery are known to have eaten fish and frogs as their staple food source. Remains of their buildings may still be seen in the castle's foundations and park.
In 1421 the Hussites destroyed the monastery, leaving only the foundations. From these ruins a fortress was constructed in the year 1578.
Later the fortress was remodeled into a Renaissance castle. In 1684, Vilémov was bought by Count Caretto de Millesimo, Marquis of Savona.
In 1746 the castle was enlarged and its style changed from Renaissance to Baroque. The Italian architect Francesco Caratti designed the building; architectural details were added by artisans from Italy.
In 1852 the estate passed to Eckmuhl Josef Baron Reisky z Dubnic, great-grandson of Marie Alzbeta Countess Caretto de Millesimo and Frantisek Vaclav Baron Reisky z Dubnic. The Reisky family has owned the castle ever since, but during the Second World War it was taken over by the Nazis and the Reisky family was expelled.
In 1945 Russian Army troops under General Malinowski were quartered in the castle, and later in that same year it was returned to the Reisky family.
In 1948 the property was confiscated by the communist regime and was put to a variety of uses, including a boy's boarding school. All works of art and various other family keepsakes were removed or stolen during this period, and in 1991 when the estate was once again returned to the Reisky family, the buildings were empty and in complete disrepair.
