Kynžvart Chateau

In the picturesque landscape of West Bohemia, on the edge of the Slavkov Forest, stands Kynžvart Chateau, an elegant aristocratic residence on the borderline of Viennese Classicism and Empire style. This architectural gem is inherently linked to the Austrian Chancellor Klemens Wenzel von Metternich, who chose it as his summer retreat. It was here, during his era, that key diplomatic meetings took place, earning the chateau the prestigious European Heritage Label. A walk through its interiors thus offers a unique insight into the life and politics of the high nobility of the 19th century. Today, the chateau is open to the public as a national cultural monument, managed by the National Heritage Institute, and invites you to discover its rich history.
