Konopiště castle - One of the most beautiful Bohemia castle

Konopiste Castle was founded at the end of the 13th century by Prague’s bishop Tobias from the house Benesovic. It was built as french-style gothic castle with massive walls, a moat and 7 defensive towers.

The new owners decided to modify the medieval castle into a renaissance palace, making it more comfortable for living. However the Hodejovsky family was protestant and after losing the battle of the White Mountain in 1620 in which the Czech protestants lost to the Austrian catholics the Hodejovsky family lost all their property. The confiscated castle changed owners several times until the Vrtba family bought it in 1725 and gave it a baroque look.

The most famous owner, Archduke Ferdinand D’Este, bought Konopiste Castle with cash in 1887. Archduke could afford it because he inherited the wealth of house Este from Modena. He had the castle repaired by a famous Czech architect Josef Mocker who made alterations to the structure. He electrified the castle and incorporated one of the first elevators in the Czech lands.
