Lobkowicz Castle and Romanesque Castle - Roudnice nad Labem
At the end of the 12th century, the Bishop of Prague had a Romanesque castle built on a rocky promontory above the Elbe River. It was expanded in the Gothic period. In the 16th century a Renaissance wing was added and later the whole complex was expanded.

In 1652-1684, during the reign of Václav Eusebius of Lobkowicz, the castle complex was rebuilt in an early Baroque form, which has been preserved to this day. The castle consists of four wings around a spacious courtyard and the southern (entrance) side is divided by a massive tower. For many years the castle was the centre of the prosperous Lobkowicz estate. Since World War II it served as a barracks for the German and later Czech army. Until 2008, it housed a military music school. Nowadays, the castle belongs to the Lobkowicz family again and tours of part of the castle and the original Romanesque castle are available.
