Melnik Castle

Melnik Castle stands at the confluence of two rivers Vltava and Labe. Combining together, they form the well-known German river Elbe. From the walls of the castle opens a chic view of this natural action. At one time, Melnik Castle received the nickname “Castle of the Queens”. After the death of the rulers, their wives lived out their days in this castle. In the history of the castle there were 23 such widows.

The castle is especially famous for the fact that it was here that Czech winemaking was born more than a thousand years ago. The unique wine tasting is held today, thanks to which Melnik is doomed to pilgrimage of tourists from all over the world. In addition, everyone can walk through the historical interiors of the castle, enjoy a collection of Baroque paintings and listen to amazing stories from Count Lobkowitz himself, the current owner of the castle, who likes to act as a guide.
