Zbiroh Chateau

Zbiroh Castles and Chateaus
From the vague outlines of its origins, the Romanesque-Gothic Zbiroh Castle emerges at the end of the 12th century as the oldest Czech aristocratic residence. The original castle part is still dominated by the oldest detached watch tower in the Czech Republic. Zbiroh acquired its present-day neo-renaissance appearance at the end of the 16th century in the possession of Emperor Rudolf II. Habsburg 
Zbiroh is sometimes called the Three Emperors’ Chateau - as it was owned by King Ottokar II., Emperors Charles IV., Sigismund and Rudolf II.
There is the deepest well in Europe. The chateau’s salons and halls include the large neo-Renaissance Alfons Mucha Hall, with an original curtain by the world-famous painter, who spent eighteen years here and painted his famous Slav Epic here.
