If you are interested in hunting trophies, Konopiste Chateau is the place to visit. Containing over 300,000 stuffed animal trophies, the chateau is an unusual place to say the least. The chateau's previous owner was the Archduke Franz Ferdinand, whose main claim to fame was being the man whose assassination started WWII.
Apart from that dubious honor, the Archduke had a serious hunting obsession.
