Lemberk Chateau

Lemberk State Chateau stands in the landscape below the Lusatian Mountains and belongs to the monuments where noble history naturally meets the spiritual story of Saint Zdislava. Originally a Gothic castle, it gradually transformed into a Renaissance and early Baroque chateau, which today reveals several layers of Northern Bohemian history.

Visitors can explore the representative rooms, the chateau chapel, the Knights’ Hall, the black kitchen and rooms connected with Zdislava of Lemberk. Zdislava’s chamber is one of the most powerful stops on the tour, recalling a figure inseparably linked with this place.

Lemberk is also connected with the Saint Zdislava Cycle Route, which leads visitors through the landscape of the Lusatian Mountains, the Central Bohemian Uplands and the glassmaking region around Nový Bor. The route recalls the legacy of Saint Zdislava and connects places linked with history, nature and views – from Lord’s Rock through glass museums in Nový Bor and Kamenický Šenov to Sloup Rock Castle, Modlivý důl or the Naděje Reservoir. For visitors to Lemberk, it is a pleasant way to continue the trip actively and discover the surrounding area from the saddle of a bike.

Not far from the chateau stands Sýpka Lemberk, a Baroque agricultural building that now serves as a lively cultural space. In the raw setting of the historic granary, exhibitions, workshops, seminars, theatre performances and other gatherings take place, focusing on art, architecture, craft and the history of the site.
