Myslivna (Zbraslav) Gamekeeper's lodge
The thinking room in Zbraslavi is a classic summer castle from the late 18th century, which served as a hunting base. It stands in the historical core of the village north of the square against the local castle. It is protected as a real cultural monument of the Czech Republic.
The oldest mention of the building dates back to 1564, when it was a wooden building. In 1770 she was assigned a descriptive number 2, in order after the rectory. A fundamental change occurred after the abrogation of the monastery in 1785, which led to secularisation of the property in the context of joséfinism. In 1794 the building was rebuilt by builder Matěj Ruml.
This castle shows elements of late Baroque and classicism. The construction has a ground plan of the letter L and a semi-wooden roof. The street facade is eight-axis with a portal equipped with a skylight, while the shield wall is double-axis with two round windows. The windows are complemented by champagne with stucco supraports and parapets. The gate is encapsulated with a compressed arch corresponding to the arch of the ledge. On the broken main ledge is placed plastic inscription Nro: 2do, RE A. D. 1794.
The building is underglued, with the ground floor of the front tract situated below the surrounding terrain. The cellars have flat ceilings on the south side, in the centre and in the north segment vaults with sections. In the interior there is a two-arm wooden staircase with original stages. On the way to the soil is preserved baroque window with decked decorated fittings. The rooms on the first floor have flat ceilings; a supporting beam is used in the south and a faboon is used in the north.
After the reconstruction in 1794, the building was used by Prince rod Oettingen-Wallerstein for hunting and partly as a castle. In the 20th century, the function of the building changed and was used for living. Between 2012 and 2018, the building underwent a total reconstruction.
This building represents a valuable example of the transition from baroque to classicism in the weaponry environment. Its architecture and history reflect changes in land use and property conditions of the late 18th century. The visit to the building offers insight into the history of local hunting and architecture.

Welcome to the picturesque Zbraslavi, where you are right now in front of a unique monument, which has a long and interesting history - hunting from the 18th century. This building, originally a 16th century woodwork, is now a beautiful example of baroque style with elements of classicism. Look up and enjoy the elegant front line, which will welcome you with its architectural beauty.
Let's dive into the history of this place. The first mention of hunting dates back to 1564 and it was a wooden building. In 1770 she received her descriptive number, which made her an official location in the region. However, the most important changes occurred in 1794, when the hunting grounds were rebuilt into Baroque style under the guidance of architect Matìj Ruml. This project turned the woodwork into a classicist summer castle which served the Prince's family Oettingen-Wallerstein for hunting activities and as a resting place.
Now pay attention to the architecture. The Cape has a L-shaped floor plan, which is a typical feature of the time. The interior is elegantly decorated and reflects the aesthetics of the end of the 18th century. Notice the way the light falls through the windows, which gives the atmosphere a mild temperature.
Among the key personalities associated with this place is rod Oettingen-Wallerstein. After the reconstruction in 1794, hunting was their favorite place for hunting and rest. This family, known for its aristocratic position, has left a mark of its influence on the site.
The interesting thing about this place is its transformation over the years. For centuries, serving as a hunting ground and a castle for the prince's house, it was used for housing in the 20th century. In 2012, a new chapter in the history of hunting grounds began - a total reconstruction lasting until 2018. Thanks to this renovation, today you can appreciate its original beauty.
Invitation to further explore Zbraslavi, have a nice day. I hope you enjoyed being here and enjoying the rest of your visiting program. Let local culture and history address you like this beautiful hunting ground!

Seasonal recommendations
In the spring of this year's castle will surround fresh greenery and flowering trees, creating a fresh and optimistic atmosphere. The light is delicate and pleasant for walking around the building. We recommend to dress in layered clothes because the weather is variable, and arrive in the morning when the park is quiet.
In the summer months the monument in full sun and surrounding park offers a deep shadow under thick leaves. It's a time of high attendance, which is why it's best to leave first thing in the morning to avoid the biggest crowds and heat. Don't forget light clothes and plenty of fluids.
Autumn brings golden colors and morning fog to the garden, giving the building a mysterious and peaceful touch. The lighting is warm and soft during this period, which is ideal for observing the facade details. A warm sweater is suitable and a visit in the afternoon when there are fewer people.
In the winter, the summer castle works in a dense way and the freezing air highlights its architecture. Nature rests and the landscape is often covered with snow, which creates a quiet and dreamy space. It is necessary to wear warm and waterproof clothes and to verify in advance the shortened opening times that apply during this period.
