Czech Republic has some of the greatest castles in the world. Untouched by mayhem and destruction of World War II, these aren’t reconstructions or plastic theme park castles. These are straight from the pages of a fairytale storybook. Medieval fortresses with high walls, Gothic towers and drawbridges, deer parks and hunting lodges, lavish baroque banquet halls and libraries, stories of nobility and empire―it’s all here. There are a variety of castles here, including the one resembling Windsor Castle in England. Following are the eleven of the best castles to see while you are in Czech Republic.
