17DobříšReason to visitThe attractive and ornate environment of this Rococo chateau, surrounded by a valuable garden with floral ornamentation, sculpted hedges and statues, evokes the atmosphere of Vienna’s Schönbrunn Palace. Perhaps that is why it is so sought after by filmmakers of fairy tales, by concert organizers and for weddings and private parties. Of historical interestThe splendid Rococo residence from the 18th century, thoroughly reminiscent of the times, tastes and style of the French King Louis XVI, was during the Second World War a favourite of the Nazis, who expropriated it from its aristocratic owners. For 50 years it then served as the “Home for Writers”, offering residencies and recreation for pro-regime authors and other prominent people. The so-called Writers’ Room recalls the times during the communist era when the family collections of the old-new owners, the Colloredo-Mansfeld family, were inaccessible to “mere mortals”. Today they are accessible and much admired by the public.nám. Svobody 1263 01 Dobříš actionURI(http://zamekdobris.cz ):
