Pravda Castle was a castle, the remains of which can be found on the hill above the village of Pnětluky in the Ústí nad Labem Region of the Czech Republic. The name literally means the truth.
The first document to mention Pravda was written in 1380. Today's castle was probably built during second half of 15th century on top of a prehistoric fortification. At the time of construction it was a very modern and strong fortress. During the 16th century the importance of the castle diminished, resulting in its abandonment.
In modern times it has become a target for tourists and a place of meetings and festivals, during the 20th century, the castle's structure deteriorated significantly and attempts are being made to stabilize it.

Peruc Chateau

The earliest mention in records about Lany date from 1392. In those days there was a wooden keep here. At the end of the 16th century Rudolf II bought the village and had the original citadel replaced with a simple hunting lodge in the Renaissance style which in the course of the 17th century took on a Baroque character.
The Wallensteins bought the Chateau at the end of the 17th century. In 1730, Count Jan Josef Wallenstein had another floor added to the small Chateau at Lany. As of the beginning of the 18th century Lany was in the hands of the Fürstenbergs, notably until 1921 when the Czechoslovak state bought the Chateau as a prestigious seat for the Head of State. The area underwent countless reconstruction projects and its present-day image is the result of a renovation operation which took place in 1902 - 1903. Architect Josip Plecnik undertook the most recent reconstruction of the Chateau and its surroundings in 1921-24. The Chateau is situated on the axis of the Chateau Park and constitutes its organic dominant feature.

Petrohrad Castle

The first records of Krasný Dvůr date back to the 14th century, since then numerous aristocratic families (e.g. Kolowrats) held possession of it until Count Hermann Czernin von und zu Chudenitz bought it in the middle of the 17th century. Count Franz Josef Czernin von und zu Chudenitz decided to start an extensive reconstruction on a Renaissance villa built on the site of a Gothic stronghold originally constructed by Jan Maštovský of Kolovraty at the end of the 16th century.
The reconstruction project was undertaken by well-known Czech architect František Maxmilián Kaňka and was distinctly influenced by the French architecture; construction went on between 1720 and 1724. Some alterations of Chateau buildings were made at the end of the 18th century (in 1783 the chapel was erected, in 1791–92 two-pair staircases were built in the court and in the northern garden and ground arcades were walled at the same time.)
