| Originally gothic fortress of the family of Buzice, which were reconstructed during 16th and 17th century reconstructed into the renaissance chateau. So called Loksanska knihovna (the Library of Loksany), the oldest renaissance library in Czechia, comes from the year of 1558. The most important architectonic adaptation of the chateau in the times after the Battle of White Mountain is building the early baroque chapel of Our Lady. Next owner was the aristocratic family Krakovsti z Kolovrat. The last private owners were the aristocratic family Palffyove z Erdödu, in 1945 the chateau fell to the ownership of state. At present, there are three chateau tours, which explain the history of all three aristocratic families, artistic styles and weapons from renaissance to 19th century, e.g. family galleries, african lounge, renaissance dining-room, chateau armory with weapons from 16th - 19th century, renaissance Library of Loksany, the Galerie of Ludvik Kuba, etc. |
