Zámek Nový Haimhausen Castle
Zámek Nový Haimhausen stands in a former settlement which has since 1945 become part of Broumova in the Tachov district. It is located near the Hamer creek and testifies to the ambitions of the noble family and economic changes of the region in the 18th and 19th centuries.
The orchard itself has its roots deep in the past. From 1724 to his death in 1793, Zikmund z Haimhausenu, which managed Chodová Planá Manor, founded the settlement here. The intention was completely practical - the development of metallurgy in the region. After Zikmund's death, the property became the property of his daughter Johana. In 1818, Johana bequeathed him to her grandson, the Kajetan of Berchem-Haimhausen, and thus became part of her legacy.
However, the castle itself is a product of a later period. In the 1970s, Johann Ernst of Berchem-Haimhausen built it under the leadership of construction master A. Libel. It is an architecturally two-storey object, which, in its appearance, resembles a villa from the romantic period - a style which corresponds to the period taste of higher layers and their pursuit of harmonious synthesis of comfort and aesthetics.
The fate of the construction was not permanently linked to the chase. During the 20th century the castle transformed into an administrative building of the Pioneer camp, which was the common destiny of many smaller noble settlements during this period. The device served its communist function until the regime changed.
Today the castle is owned by a private entity. It is not publicly accessible, but remains an interesting part of the building fund Broumovska with its Romance-industrial history and architectural form. It represents the time when metallurgy became the engine of the region's economic development and when the local authorities, including the House of Haimhausen, invested in infrastructure and representative buildings. The castle thus speaks not only of the personal ambitions of its time, but also of the genius loci, which was the northwest Czech Republic in the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.

Welcome to Broumov, before a beautiful monument that will welcome us with a noble face. You are standing in front of the hunting castle Nová Haimhausen, which is located in a former settlement called the same as the castle itself. This romantic villa house rises above the Hute Landscape, as if to climb the sky. Look up and notice a two-story object that seems almost like a refuge in the woods.
Let us move forward in time and return to the time when the settlement was founded by Zikmund of Haimhausen in 1724. That's when the steel industry developed, and the Berchem-Haimhausen family needed a place to manage their business. So the family settled in this area and established a settlement that eventually became part of Broumova.
Now pay attention to the architecture of the castle itself. Built in the 1970s under the leadership of construction master A. Libel, this is a beautiful example of romanticism. Look at the facade and notice the details that decorate the facade. It's a really amazing piece of architecture that invites us to explore.
Zámek Nový Haimhausen is connected with many interesting personalities. Zikmund z Haimhausenu, who founded the settlement, was a great patron of art and culture. His daughter Johana z Haimhausenu was known for her charity and support of artists. And then there's the Kajetán z Berchem-Haimhausenu, which stood at the birth of the hunting castle. And let us not forget John Ernest of Berchem-Haimhausen, who was a great lover of nature and hunting expeditions.
The interesting thing is that the settlement where the castle is located has been part of Broumova since 1945. And that's interesting, because before that, the settlement was a separate village that had developed since the 18th century.
Except that you enjoyed a beautiful trip to the monument, I would like to invite you to further explore this beautiful historical site. You can walk around, see more sights and gardens. And who knows, you might be able to carry some secrets and a story from this beautiful area.
