Chateau at Mnichovo Hradiste
The Chateau at Mnichovo Hradiste gained its present form the late 17th Century when it was rebuilt by the Italian architect, Marcus Antonius Canevalle. It is a symmetrical design with three wings, sometimes referred in laymen's terms as an E layout.
The chapel on the grounds is the burial place of Albrecht von Wallenstein (Valdstejn) the famous warrior from the Thirty Years War.
