Culture and History

Encovany Chateau preserves cross vaults and cloister vaults, beamed ceilings, remnants of Renaissance wall paintings, fireplaces, and Renaissance or Neo-Renaissance portals. The niche chapel in Encovany is a highly authentically preserved example of small-scale Early Classical sacral architecture in the Litoměřice area. It is located on a footpath connecting the main road through Dolní Encovany with the road to Polepy.
