Liblice combines the history of a High Baroque castle with religious buildings that reflect different phases of construction. It is also home to a designated game park area and a site where the rare marsh orchid can be seen growing in the wild. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Liblice, you can use your own interests as a starting point: architecture, the history of church construction or nature each offer a different focus for planning your trip.

Castle and Tours

Liblice Castle is one of the most cohesive monuments of the Bohemian High Baroque. The Italian architect Giovanni Battista Alliprandi designed the plans for the castle in 1699. This offers two perspectives on architectural history: the castle’s place in the Bohemian High Baroque and Alliprandi’s specifically dated design from 1699.

The castle offers guided and special tours led by a guide. Tour arrangements may change, so check the latest information before making plans. This will help you match your interest in the building’s history with the specific tours on offer.

Church and Chapel

The Church of St. Václav has a clearly distinguishable building history: it was built in the Gothic style at the end of the 14th century and remodelled in the Baroque style in 1710. These details describe two successive phases in the history of the same building. Together with the mortuary chapel and the cemetery, which is still in use, the church forms a unified ensemble surrounded by an enclosing wall.

The Chapel of Panny Marie makes its own architectural statement. Its richly decorated façade features paired Ionic pilasters at the corners. A pilaster is a flat, pillar-like form attached to a wall; the Ionic design and paired arrangement at the corners give the façade a precisely defined structure. The chapel thus offers a different architectural perspective from the sequence of Gothic and Baroque styles at St. Václav.

Nature and Protected Areas

The game park area was designated a natural monument in 2012 under the name Zámecký park Liblice. It is also a site of community importance and is open to visitors. Protected status and visitor access answer different planning questions. As access conditions may change, check the latest information before your visit.

Slatinná louka u Liblic is one of the last areas where the rare marsh orchid can be seen growing in the wild. This highlights a different aspect from the protected designations applying to the game park area: here, the focus is on a rare plant species. Nature enthusiasts therefore have two distinct subjects to consider separately when planning their trip.

The castle and religious buildings represent architectural and building history; the nature highlights range from the game park area’s protected status to the rare orchid. You can choose a holiday apartment in Liblice based on the interests that matter most during your stay.
