The ruins of the castle Roupov are distinctive thanks to the monumental octagonal chimney, which belonged to the large Gothic kitchen. The kitchen is preserved today, as are some other parts of the palaces. The castle was founded in the 13th century and later was rebuilt and enlarged several times. It was demolished during the Thirty Years War but definitely abandoned probably in the 18th century.

Title

Name in English

Original Renaissance chateau from the second half of the 16th century converted and expanded in 1886-1887 in the pseudo-Renaissance spirit. The designer of the chateau’s new style was its then-owner – the renowned architect Josef Hlávka, a native of nearby Příchovice. He was also the father of the Czech Academy of Sciences and Arts, the seat of which was right in Lužany. Several personalities of great renown in the fields of science and culture have passed through the chateau’s doors since that period.

Ptenín Chateau

Červené Poříčí Château is a unique monument of the Saxon Renaissance in the Pilsen Region. It was built in 1611 by Mikuláš Šic of Drahenice on the site of an older fortress. Due to his participation in the uprising of the Bohemian estates, the château was confiscated from Šic in 1623 and was subsequently owned by various Bavarian noble families. The Hauben family, the relatives Törrings of Jettenbach and Klement Franz I, Duke of Bavaria, were responsible for the Renaissance reconstruction of the château.
In the nineteenth century, the château was owned by the Habsburg imperial family, specifically the dukes of Tuscany.
The château became a state property with the founding of Czechoslovakia. After the Second World War it became the headquarters of a forestry company. It was used as a residential facility for employees starting in the 1960s. The National Heritage Institute took over administration of the château in 1997. Since 2010 it has been a national cultural monument.
