tvrz Třebotov Fortress
The fortress in Třebov in Praha- west district is a carefully restored Renaissance monument, which is protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic. The building is important with its square arrangement with arcades and rich history, which dates back to the 14th century.
The first written mention of the fort dates back to 1374. In the early 15th century Oldřich Medek of Valdek converted it into a water fortress. At the time of creation and early reconstruction, the Czech countries experienced the boom under the rule of Luxembourg.
The building core of the building is Renaissance, but there are also gothic elements and baroque modifications in the architecture. A typical feature is a square plan with arcades around the inner courtyard. The whole is surrounded by a wall and a large garden is attached to the fort. In restored interiors is partly used historical mobility. Part of the complex is also a renewed and reconsecrated chapel of St. John Nepomuk. The entrance to the building is decorated with two Baroque sculptures and other sculptures are located in the modified garden.
The fate of the fort was often linked to changing property, which was mainly composed of rich Prague townspeople or small nobles. From 1540 to 1615 it belonged to the Třebotov family Hovorčovský, which was promoted to a noble state with a residence from Kulý hora. The subsequent owner, Jan starší Ledčanský z Popic, was confiscated in 1622 for participating in a state uprising. The confiscate was acquired by Václav of Fliessenbach and bought from his widow in 1630 by the Maslav monastery. After the abrogation of the monastery in 1785, the fortress began to serve as a rectory. In 1942, the building partially burned down. In subsequent years it was used for the needs of the government or as a warehouse, leaving it since 1977.
One of the interesting changes in the appearance of the building was the removal of the clock tower with onion scouring at the end of the 19th century, thereby returning the building to its original strength character. After a period of bankruptcy, our husbands began a sensitive and complete reconstruction between 2001 and 2003.
Currently, the fort is owned by the Suchou husbands who purchased it in 2017. The building serves as a luxury accommodation, which is used mainly for organizing weddings, family celebrations and training.
This monument represents a rare example of the sensitive restoration of the historical object. Its visit offers insight into the Renaissance environment and the beauty of the landscaped garden.

Welcome to the historical monument of Třebotov Chateau! You are standing in front of an impressive Renaissance object in Prague-West, which is protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic. In front of you you have a carefully restored fortress with a characteristic square arrangement and arcades that surround the inner courtyard. This property is now used as a luxury accommodation for organizing weddings and social events.
The fortress has a rich history that goes back to 1374. The first written mention of Trebov appears in the papers of the same year. In the early 15th century, the fortress was rebuilt by Oldřich Medek from Valdek to a water fortress, making it a strategically important place for defence and life. In 1622, Jan's older Ledčanski from Popice's fortress was confiscated, which affected further ownership and history of the building.
Look up at the square structure with arcades surrounding the courtyard. These details are witnessed by the Renaissance era, when the fort was significantly rebuilt and improved. The inner space is full of history, but today also modern comforts waiting for guests.
Key personalities associated with Třebotov include Oldřich Medek of Valdek, whose reconstruction in the 15th century turned the fortress into a water wall, and John the Elder Ledčanski of Popic, who became owner of the post-confiscation in 1622. In 1785, the fortress began to serve as a rectory, indicating its adaptability and importance to the local community.
The interesting thing is that at the end of the 19th century, the clock tower with onion fighting was removed, thus returning the fort to its original strength. This detail reflects the attempt to preserve the historical appearance and functionality of the object.
In 1942, a tragic event occurred when the building partially burned down. However, thanks to the subsequent reconstruction started by Mr Sedláková in 2001, Třebotov returned to his original great and became an attractive place for visitors.
Let's move on and look at what's in Trebov to see. Notice the elegant facade and atmosphere that this historical object radiates. It's a place full of stories and mysteries waiting to be discovered.
By inviting you to further explore, you need to be able to walk through the courtyard where wedding parties and social events can be held. Třebotov is an excellent example of how history and modernity can coexist in harmony.
Thank you for walking down Třebotov's fort! I hope you find yourself at home here, taking time to explore this fascinating place. When we meet again in history!
Tips for visitors
The most suitable period for visiting the fort Třebotov is spring and summer when the surrounding nature is in full bloom and the weather allows comfortable walks around the complex. Since this is a carefully restored Renaissance building, the visit these months provides the best conditions for admiring the historical details and atmosphere of the place.
Transport availability is ensured both for visitors with their own vehicle and for those who prefer public transport. If you arrive by car, we recommend you search the parking space in the immediate vicinity of the monument, which is usually marked. For passengers travelling by public transport it is advisable to check the current connection in the search engine in advance, as the number of lines and timetables may change.
When visiting, bring comfortable shoes that allow safe movement on historical floors and possibly uneven terrain around the fortress. We also recommend adding a drinking regime, especially in warmer months, and in winter dress up in layers to make you feel comfortable walking outside.
The morning or late afternoon light is ideal for photography, which highlights architectural elements of the Renaissance fortress and creates pleasant shadows. The best shots can be obtained from places where you can see the overall context of the building in the landscape, as well as from the details of the facade, which shows a careful restaurant of the building.
Since there are no specific locations in the background that are 30 minutes away, we recommend focusing on the memory itself and its immediate surroundings. For families with children, the visit is interesting thanks to the historical context and the possibility to become familiar with the history of the region, while it is advisable to prepare a short and understandable explanation of the history of the fortress for younger visitors.

Seasonal recommendations
In spring, tvrz Třebotov wakes up with the surrounding nature. There are trees growing around the walls and the air is fresh. The lighting is delicate in this period, which greatly highlights the structure of historical stones. It is advisable for visitors to choose layered clothes because the wounds can still be cold while the afternoon is already pleasant heat. Thanks to lower traffic than in summer, you can enjoy a quiet view of the construction.
Summer months bring to the area the most sunny hours and dense green lush that gives the fort a lively look. The sun hits the roofs and walls, so we recommend a visit in the early morning, when the air is even colder and the crowds of people are minimal. Remember light, breathable clothes and plenty of fluids to enjoy the tour in maximum comfort even during the biggest heat.
Autumn visit offers the most impressive visual experience thanks to the golden and brown shades of leaves surrounding the historical object. The morning fog around the fort creates a mysterious and calm mood that is perfect for lovers of history and taking pictures. It is necessary to have waterproof shoes and warmer clothes with you, because temperatures fall rapidly after sunset. The ideal time for a walk is in the morning when the light is most interesting.
In winter tvrz Třebotov works very calmly and even nobly, especially if the surrounding area is covered with snow. A short day and a sharp, low sun create strong opposites on historical walls. Due to the shorter time of the day and the cold it is necessary to come right after opening and take care of very warm clothes including hats and gloves. Watch out for any slippery surfaces on the road to the monument.
