Culture and History

Mšec Château was built on the site of a medieval fortress in several construction phases. The château building contains Renaissance elements, including a portal; it is Baroque and dates from the 18th century, and was remodelled in the Classical style in the 19th century.

The courtyard of Mšec Château and the château park are freely accessible; however, the château park is neglected. Mšec Château is usually not accessible; every year in June, a public tour with a historical exhibition takes place.
