In the picturesque landscape of the Pardubice Region, not far from Litomyšl, a gem of Rococo architecture is hidden. This elegant chateau was built in the second half of the eighteenth century by Jan Antonín Harbuval Chamaré, who imbued it with an unmistakable style. Its charm lies not only in the building itself but also in its extensive ornamental grounds, completed at the beginning of the nineteenth century. It is thanks to these magnificent surroundings that Nové Hrady earned flattering designations such as 'the Czech Versailles' or 'Little Schönbrunn'. Stroll through its gardens and let yourself be carried away to an era of noble elegance and Baroque playfulness.
