About Humprecht
The castle was built by the Italian architect Carlo Lurago in the years 1666 - 1668 as a summer and hunting castle for Count Humprecht Jan Czernin of Chudenice. The building was build in the early Baroque style with elements of the late Renaissance and Mannerism. In 1678, the castle was struck by a lightning several times and Humprecht burned down. Within two years, it was repaired, increased by one floor and it can be said that from 1680 until today it has existed in almost the same form.
Humprecht is completely unmistakable by its difference from its contemporaries, predecessors and successors. The elliptical shape of its floor plan, an interesting solution for the lighting of the upper hall with a lantern and an atypical decoration of the roof top - a crescent moon - make it a unique monument that you will not confuse with any other. The fragments of history that are attached to the castle are also interesting.
