Chateaus Mladé Buky

Zámek Trutnov. This is a town castle transformed into a place of history and culture

On the site where a castle stood in the 13th century (some references even mention the year 1260), there is now a Renaissance-style building housing the Muzeum Podkrkonoší v Trutnově. The castle underwent numerous reconstructions – it experienced a significant Renaissance renovation in the first half of the 16th century and was destroyed after the Thirty Years' War.

What the château offers

The château building combines a historical atmosphere with modern use. In its basement, there are preserved remains of the original castle premises, which are currently used as a restaurant and music club. The upper floors of the building are dedicated to the Muzeum Podkrkonoší, which engagingly presents the rich history of the entire region through modern exhibitions.

Who is the château intended for

The château is an ideal destination for visitors who wish to explore the history of the region not only through classic tours but also through vivid presentations and interactive elements. Families with children, school groups, and individual tourists seeking a cultural and educational experience will all find something of interest here. The entire facility is wheelchair accessible from the town centre. Due to the nature of the interior spaces, dogs are not permitted.

How to get here and what to discover in the surroundings

The château is located directly in the historical centre of Trutnov, easily accessible on foot or by car, with parking nearby. After your visit, you may continue exploring the history of the town, visit the Zámecký park, or set out to discover the natural and cultural corners of the region.

A place where the Middle Ages meets a museum

This structure is a witness to the transformations of Trutnov from a medieval castle to a Renaissance seat and finally to a modern museum. We invite you to come and be drawn into the stories of the stone, the exhibitions, and the life of the region throughout the ages.

Mountaineering museum by the rocks, where history meets adventure

In the village of Dolní Adršpach, at the foot of the Adršpašsko-teplické skály rock formation, stands a Renaissance château that owes its origin to the conversion of a fortress at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries. In 1886, the Nádherný family modified the château into the form we know today, and after 2013, when it was purchased by the municipality, it was opened to the public. Today, it houses a unique mountaineering museum, a flax processing exhibition, an escape game inspired by the fairy tale Třetí princ, and a cosy café with a children's corner – an ideal combination of history, culture, and family entertainment.

What you will discover here

The château offers a diverse range of experiences that connect history with local traditions and nature. Visitors can look forward to an interactive exhibition mapping life at the château, the unique mountaineering history of the sandstone towers, or the forgotten regional traditions of flax production. For lovers of adventure, there is an exciting escape game inspired by the fairy tale Třetí princ, which draws guests directly into the story. A magical fairy-tale room full of imagination is open for the youngest visitors, while parents can recharge their energy in the château café, which features a children's corner and offers light refreshments.

Who is the château ideal for

The château is an ideal destination for families with children looking for meaningful entertainment that combines history with the natural attractions of the region. Fans of mountaineering and admirers of traditional crafts will also find much to enjoy. For visitors with limited mobility, barrier-free access is provided to most of the interiors, although it should be noted that there may be steps in some areas. Due to the protection of the exhibits, dogs are not permitted inside the building.

How to get here and what else to expect

The château is located about 1 km from the car park in Dolní Adršpach, which is easily accessible by car or bicycle. Marked trails from the surrounding rocks also lead here. In the vicinity, it is possible to combine a visit to the château with a tour of the rock town, so the experience can flow seamlessly. Whether visitors are seeking only culture, or wish to supplement it with a dose of nature.

A château where the story of the ice turned into an adventure

Zámek Adršpach is not just a museum. It is a place where the history of the château, regional craftsmanship, and the stories of the rocks safely intertwine. Every step takes visitors from the Renaissance period, through climbing, to family entertainment, all in the environment of the pristine Broumovsko region.
