The newly renovated resort was named after Klokočov Chateau, an 18th century Baroque building, surrounded by an English landscape garden with a pond. On the outskirts of the village of Klokočov not far from the Manor stands an Art Nouveau pub, which was built in the late 19th century. Together with an adjoining barn it is a part of the Klokočov Chateau Resort.

Libice nad Doubravou 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

Between 1699 and 1702, William Leopold Count Kinsky had an Italian-style estate built with four wings surrounding the central court on the site of a Gothic fortress. In 1837, the estate was passed through marriage into the ownership of the Dobrzensky family of Dobrzenicz, who still own the estate. Jan Václav Count Dobrzensky was a co-founder of the Chotěboř Town Museum. Since 1952, the Museum has been based in the Chotěboř Chateau.

Chotěboř Chateau

In 1744 Jan Václav Leveneur from Grunvald bought the estate of Štěpánov with five villages. Somewhere in the second half of the 18th century the Leveneurs had the old fort torn down and built a one–storey late baroque chateau with two wings, a small tower and Virgin Mary chapel.
In 1853 the last member of the Leveneur family Antonín Vít sold the chateau to František Siegmund. He had new parts added to the building according to the project of František Schmoranz, a designer from Chrudim and the author of the neogothic reconstruction of the Žleby castle. A new floor was added in both garden facing wings in 1858, replacing the former wooden passage gallery. A staircase was built in the north-west wing and a new room was added to the south-east wing.
The last major reconstruction took place in 1936, resulting in a grand entrance hall comprising both floors, a long stylish balcony on the south-east wall and larger windows. Large technical area was built in the basement.

In 1948 the chateau was put under state control, assigned to the School of Agriculture and later used as a dormitory for secondary building school. It was returned to the original owner in 1993 and after substantial reconstruction between 1997-2001 it is now ready to serve many purposes.
Spacious apartments were built on the first floor, offering chateau-style accommodation for up to 14 people. Twelve more people can be accommodated in a detached house above the garden. An indoor pool was built in the historic glasshouse.

Štěpánov 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

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.
