Czech Republic sightseeing: Chateau Hluboka, "a romantic Windsor castle"

The majestic castle was rebuilt in the spirit of the romantic English Gothic style, based on the royal castle of Windsor.
It was built on the instructions of the countess Elizabeth Schwarzenberg, who was invited in 1837 to Queen Victoria's coronation in England, where she had the opportunity to see the Royal Castle. After her arrival in Hluboka, she persuaded her husband to reconstruct their palace to resemble Windsor Castle. It is a rare example of English architecture in Bohemia. Inside, there are magnificent collections of furniture, tapestries, porcelain, paintings and weapons. The wooden artistic details are of particular note. It is one of the most opulent and beautiful Czech castles, visited by thousands of tourists each year.
