Culture and History
Zbenice Castle was created when Vilém Šléglovský ze Šicendorfu commissioned the conversion of an older medieval fortress into a Renaissance castle in 1626; it was later remodelled in the Baroque style. The castle currently serves as a restoration workshop and is also used for occasional cultural events.
The Chapel of the Holy Trinity is built on a ground plan in the shape of an equilateral triangle, with sides measuring 3 m. It stands approximately 1.1 km west of the town of Zbenice, on the edge of the hill known as Mackova hora, near a slope edge that descends steeply to the west. Zbenice’s local historic monuments also include a monument to Saint John of Nepomuk, a monument to the victims of the world wars, and a stone cross on the southern edge of the settlement.
