During the gothic times, there were a fortress at the place of recent chateau, and at the year 1550 was listed as deserted. At 1560 were the ruins rebuilt as chateau. In the 17th century, one hundred years after Libochovice was declared the town by Ferdinand I., there was a huge fire, which destroyed almost half of the city. However, it was not for the first time. The city underwent three fires altogether, during which also Libochovice chateau was severely damaged.
The current image of the chateau comes from the 17th century, when it was bought by Gundakar of Dietrichstein. He asked Italian architect Antonio della Porta to restore it. Therefore, the Italian influence is evident. Antonio della Porta renewed this chateau between years 1683 - 1690, economic buildings were restored between years 1690 - 1697.
Next renewing of chateau was between years 1900 - 1914 by E. Fiala.
The park was designed in French style by Jan Tulipán. During the 19th century, it was re-designed in English style and later restored again in the original design.

Libochovice Chateau

The beginnings of the castle date back to approximately the onset of the 14th century. During its course of time, the castle became the family residence of the Zajíce of Valdek. In the middle of the 16th century, following the Hussite wars, the Zajíces abandoned the castle, thus marking the onset of its deterioration. Mainly the two towers have been preserved from the original building - the Black Tower (cylindrical, basalt) and White Tower (quadrilateral, sandstone). There are remains of a town at the edge of the castle, which was abandoned at the same time as the castle.

Budyně nad Ohří Castle

Skalka, a castle together with a chateau, are found in the western area of the Czech central mountains, at the village Vlastislav not far from Třebenice. The first mention of the castle is from 1357, in connection with Petr, known as Skála. During the Hussite wars, the castle was held by an enemy of the Hussites, Hanuš of Sulevice. In 1496 it was obtained by Vchynští of Vchynice. After this, ownership alternated until in 1544 Jan Kaplíř of Sulevice and Košťálově bought Skalka. In 1579 the next owner, Adam Hrzán of Harasov, extended the estates. In 1639 Skalka was devastated by Swedish soldiers and much of its masonry was used in building a baroque chateau, which eventually built next to the former castle by the Hrzáns of Harasov.
The castle stood on a thin rocky ridge, whose northeast flank borders a cliff wall which the chateau building almost clings to. The northwest flank is milder, and so the access path (which splits in two directions) runs here. One path leads under the forecastle, the other leads to the cliff with the rounded tower of the castle (commonly called bergfrit). The tower, which has relatively well-preserved battlements, is irregular in section and is 15.5 meters high. The entry is 9.5 meters above ground level. Inside the tower there were once writings, engraved by prisoners in the 17th century when the tower served as a prison. Behind the tower is a small area, where presumably the palace stood. The oldest part of the site is the castle area on the top of the rocky ridge. Later the castle was extended even to the location of the chateau, and part of the cellars were preserved. Before 1579, a Renaissance chateau was evidently located on the site of the present-day chateau, this was destroyed in 1639 by the Swedish. The present chateau dated from the end of the 17th century. Material quarried from the castle was used during its construction, and the only remnant of the castle standing today is the imposing tower.

Milešov Chateau

Roudnice Castle was built in the 12th century by Bishop Jindřich Břetislav, the nephew of the Czech king Vladislav I, to protected an important trade route from Prague to Upper Lusatia along the Elbe. The castle complex included several farm buildings, protected by a fortified wall; the castle itself had walls that were two meters thick, and watch towers in each corner. In the mid-14th century, it was rebuilt in a Gothic style and became a favorite summer residence for Prague bishops. It is said that Jan Hus was ordained as a priest there.
In 1421, the Catholic Church sold the castle to Jan Smiřický, who renovated it once again. George of Poděbrady, king of Bohemia (1420-1477), captured Roudnice from Smiřický in 1467. It passed into the ownership of William Rožumberk (1535-1592), the Supreme Burgrave and one of the wealthiest men in Bohemia. After Rožumberk’s death, his widow Polyxena Pernštejn (1566-1642) married Zdenek Vojtěch of Lobkowicz, Chancellor of the Czech Kingdom and later 1st Prince Lobkowicz, bringing Roudnice into the Lobkowicz family’s possessions. In 1652 their son Václav Eusebius, 2nd Prince Lobkowicz (1609-1677), embarked upon an ambitious project to transform the castle into an early baroque palace. From 1657 until the Second World War the Lobkowicz Collection's library was stored in Roudnice Castle, leading to the library being named the Roudnice Lobkowicz Library.
