Dear Steemit friends and followers,
Welcome to my Travel Tip series where I promote some of the most beautiful places, interesting landmarks and impressive architectural sites of my homeland, the Czech Republic.
Today, I will take you to one of the most beautiful Baroque chateaus of the country, the famous Horovice Chateau.

Located in a little town of the same name (Horovice), just some 50 km (30 mi) outside of Prague, the Horovice Chateau is a magnificent chateau that was built in the first half of the 18th century. Occupying a total area of staggering 7 ha, the chateau contains more than 160 rooms that also house exhibits and artifacts associated with the history of the chateau and the town.
Widely regarded as one of the most important examples of early Baroque architecture in the Czech Republic, the Horovice Chateau is surrounded by vast, perfectly maintained parks and gardens that serve as a popular backdrop for weddings and other festive events.

Listed as a National Cultural Monument, the chateau is open to public with a basic entrance fee starting at 120 CZK (5 EUR / 6 USD).
