Sychrov Chateau
A large romantic chateau of the Rohan family from the late 17th century, originally a Baroque chateau built on the place of a Gothic fortress, adjusted in Classicism, in the 19th century rebuilt in the Pseudo-Gothic style. Authentic Neo-Gothic interiors with rich woodcarvings (P.Bušek) and valuable art collections (paintings, pewter, china, glass, glass paintings). The portrait gallery of the Rohan family is the most significant collection of French portrait painting outside France.
More than fourty halls and rooms with rich decoration are accessible in the manor. The decorations have been made by a number of Czech craftsmen of whom we shall name at least the carver Petr Bušek, author of richly carved panels of the walls and some of the ceilings. The Rohans collected an extraordinarily rich set of furnishings of which especially the paintings brought from France are of excellent quality. The portraits depict mostly the members of the Rohan family but also French nobility and even kings. The interiors of the manor are furnished by precious furniture and added by collections of artistic works and objects, especially china and glass.
