A Baroque chateau is the dominant feature in Bilina, which is located near the Mírové náměstí square. Originally a Premyslid settlement was founded there at the end of the 10th century as an administrative centre of the Premyslid state in the Bílina province. In the 13th century a Gothic castle was built there, from which a vault carved in a rock and late Gothic vaults on the ground floor of the northern pavilion are still preserved. On the north side of the courtyard there is a Gothic bastion from the end of the 15th century called Manda. Since 1502 the castle was owned by the family Lobkowitz, who rebuilt it in the years 1675-1682 according to the project plans of G. T. Tencalla. In that time the Grand Hall, called Italian, with rich stucco decorations was built. The other adaptations were carried out in the 19th century. The chateau was in Lobkowitz possession until 1945, when it became a state property. Today the chateau is again owned by the Lobkowitz family and it is not open to the public.
