Libochovice Chateau is situated in the centre of Libochovice town, Ústí nad Labem Region, Czech Republic. The castle is a cultural monument of the Czech Republic. It is one of the most significant Early-Baroque castles in the Czech Republic.
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

A breakthrough in the history of the village took place in 1544, it was the year when the fortress was bought by Florian Grispek from Griesbach who was about to have a very promising carreer at the emperor´s court. The Emperor Ferdinand I. gave him plenty of money and Florian decided to invest it in building his estate. He chose the village of Nelahozeves which was, thanks to its location, an ideal strategic location.
The chateau began being built in 1553 on the top of the hill above the river. The style was inspired by the Italian chateaux and it was actually the Italian architects such as Giovani de Statio, Pietro Ferrabosco or Giovanni Spazio who participated in its construction.The original plans for the chateau were grand - to say the least - but as the construction turned out to be far more expensive than expected many concessions were made. Eventually three wings were built by 1558 and though the last wing was also planned as its construction was never realized. In its place a provisional wall was built and it has been there ever since.
In 1623 the chateau was bought by Polyxena from Pernštejn, the wife of Zdenek Vojtech from Lobkowicz. It was Polyxena who innitiated  the foundation of the world-known art collection. The Lobkowicz Family had their main seat in the nearby chateau in Roudnice and the one in Nelahozeves was not used very often hence the chateau decayed a great deal. It was completely reconstructed after 1948 when it wasconfiscated by the Communists. It was not until 1992 that the chateau was returned tohands of the Lobkowicz family who opened it to the public who can come and see a magnificent art collection comprising more than 400 items.

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.
