Nemilkov offers two specific starting points for planning your trip: the Renaissance chateau and its building history, and a hiking route from Nemilkov railway station. A picturesque railway station lies about 2.5 kilometres from Nemilkov. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, you can first consider whether the castle’s history or the hike should shape your stay more. This lets you choose where to stay according to your own travel interests.

Castle history in several building phases

Nemilkov is home to a Renaissance chateau dating from the 16th century. The Czech nobleman Jan Bohuchval z Hrádku lived in Nemilkov and, at the end of the 16th century, converted part of the fortress into a Renaissance chateau with a farmyard. This early building phase therefore links the site’s history to both a conversion and the farmyard.

At the end of the 18th century, Nemilkov Castle gained a west wing and a Baroque façade. The two periods are easy to distinguish: first, part of the fortress was remodelled; later, the west wing and Baroque façade were added. Those interested in architecture will find more here than a single construction date: the castle’s development spans from the remodelling in the late 16th century to the changes made in the late 18th century.

Guided tour and rooms

A guided tour with commentary is offered at Nemilkov Castle, covering the castle’s changes from the Gothic period through to Classicism. Its timeframe therefore extends beyond the two specifically named building phases. If you would like to include the tour in your plans, check the current arrangements with the operator beforehand.

The rooms visited in the castle include the former owners, the Schreiner family’s, public and private rooms. The family had to leave the castle after the Second World War. These rooms add the story of a family connected with the castle to its architectural history. The castle can therefore be understood both through its architecture and through its former residents.

Hiking route from Nemilkov railway station

A KČT hiking route begins at Nemilkov railway station and follows the yellow-marked trail towards Makov. The route thus provides a specific starting point and direction for navigation. The railway station is also about 2.5 kilometres from Nemilkov. Check the current trail markings on site before setting out.

The railway station has two distinct roles in planning: it is a nearby reference point for Nemilkov and the starting point of the described hiking route. The connection between the starting point and direction makes the route specific without implying any particular time requirement. If you enjoy walking, you can use these details as a guide and make the hike a focus of your trip.

Plan your stay around your interests

For a culture-focused stay, the Renaissance chateau, its building phases and the guided tour with commentary take centre stage. If you would rather plan a hike, the starting point at the railway station and the direction towards Makov offer a specific alternative. These two options cater to different interests: the history of a castle on one hand, and a marked trail on the other. For a shorter stay, it may be helpful to decide beforehand which one will be the deciding factor. This also gives you a clear starting point when looking for a holiday apartment: choose according to the focus you want to pursue in Nemilkov.
