Lovecký zámeček (Lomnice nad Popelkou) Hunting lodge
The hunting lodge in Lomnica nad Popelkou is a remarkable monument, located in the village Lomnice nad Popelkou. It is a romantic building built in the Swiss Alpine style, which is protected as a cultural monument. The Hunting Castle is an important historical building built in the 19th century.
The original field in Lomnica nad Popelka belonged to the family of Rohan, who extended it and modified it to become an ideal place for hunting expeditions. The hunting castle was built on the site of the former hunting grounds and its construction was commissioned by Prince Charles Rohan. The construction was carried out by builder Josef Pruvot and the carving works were carried out in the workshop of Petr Bushka from Husa near Sychrova.
The hunting castle is built in Swiss Alpine style, characterized by a two-storey building with a saddle roof. There is a rich wooden decoration on the building and on the west facade there is a stove. Above the entrance is preserved cast iron coat of arms of the genus Rohan and the original chimney bodies with shaped heads are preserved.
The hunting lodge was exposed in several stages. The first phase of construction took place between 1864 and 1868, when the castle was built on the site of the former hunting house. Another phase of construction took place in 1899, when the construction of the extension, which ended in 1900, started. In 1936, the castle was re-plastered and the doors and windows were painted. After World War II, the castle was confiscated and taken to the administration of state forests. Further modifications of the castle took place between 1952 and 1953 and 1964 to 1966 when the housing units were modified and the roof was repaired.
In 2010 the town of Lomnice nad Popelkou bought a hunting lodge and in December 2012 the building was declared a cultural monument. The hunting lodge is a remarkable monument worth visiting. It is a unique architectural object that offers a unique opportunity to explore and learn the history and culture of the region.

Seasonal recommendations
In spring the castle will surround the fresh green and flowering trees, creating a fresh and optimistic atmosphere. Nature wakes life around and the air smells of awakened forest. We recommend to dress in layers because spring weather is very variable. The best thing is to come in the morning when there are fewer visitors around.
The summer season brings rich green leaves and bright sun that shines through the trees. There are a lot more people here in the high season, so it is advisable to leave first thing in the morning to avoid the biggest crowds and midday heat. Don't forget light, breathable clothes and plenty of fluids to go.
The autumn turns the surroundings into a sea of gold and red colours, while morning fog gives the place a mysterious and romantic touch. It is the perfect time for quiet walks and photography in a soft evening light. It is practical to wear moisture resistant shoes and a warm jacket for colder afternoons.
In winter, the landscape is often covered with snow and there is a deep silence that underlines the historical character of the building. The atmosphere is dreamy and calm, especially in advent time. It is necessary to have very warm clothes and to check in advance the shorter opening times that usually apply during this period.
