Visit the place where 23 Czech queens and princess have lived. The Renaissance chateau in Melnik , together with the Church of Sts Peter and Paul, rises above the confluence of the rivers Labe (Elbe) and Vltava. A tour of the chateau represents the rich collection of paintings and furniture of the Lobkowicz family , which owns the chateau today.
From the chateau's terrace and restaurant will enjoy magnificent views of the confluence of the Labe and Vltava rivers , the majestic Rip mountain, the volcani peaks of the Ceske Stredohori ( central Bohemian Uplands) and the St. Ludmila Vineyard . The best known wine from Melnik, Lidmila in its distinctive bottle, is named for St Ludmila. You can taste it in the chateau cellars.
REASON TO VISIT
In the Great Hall of the chateau you can admire part of an outstanding collection of vedutas and maps of European countries and cities from the 17th century, which are a testament to the excellent skill of cartographers, graphic artists and printers of that period. A comparable group of maps can be found only in the collection of King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden.
Near the chateau , in the crypt of the Church f Sts Peter and Paul , you can visit one of the biggest ossuaries in the Czech Republic , containing the bones of up to 15000 people.
The Melnik Regional Museum is located in the former Capuchin monastery right in the centre of town and focuses in the history of wine making in the region . A wine tasting in the 14th century cellars here brings the museum tour to a pleasant conclusion.
