Originally a Baroque castle, Hořín Castle is now maintained in the Rococo style and was built at the end of the 17th century at the request of Count Jakob von Czernin.
Some agricultural buildings were later added to the castle, closing the castle courtyard and forming an artistically unified architectural piece.
In the late 18th century, Hořín passed to the Lobkowicz family, who have owned it since then.
The castle is surrounded by a 10-hectare park. Part of the property also includes a farm with an area of 1.4 hectares.
Hořín Castle is located in a village of the same name, not far from the confluence of the Moldau and Elbe rivers, 2 km from Mělník, and about 40 km from Prague.

In 1969, Count Heřman Jacob Czernin had a Baroque hunting castle built according to the design of Giovanni Battista Alliprandi.
It was decorated with paintings by F.M. Schiffern and his brother Antonín.
However, the count found the castle rather small, and so between 1713 and 1720, it was renovated into a Baroque castle according to the design of F.M. Kaňka.
Subsequently, the castle was modified and expanded several times.
Two pavilions were added to the building, connected to the castle by diagonal corridors.
One of the pavilions was intended as accommodation for guests, the other was transformed into the castle chapel.
Finally, some farm buildings were constructed to serve as stables.
This layout has remained unchanged since then.
It represents a precious and artistically unified architectural piece.
Noteworthy are the Rococo interiors, the so-called „stone rooms,“ dating back to 1760-1763, which are partially preserved on the ground floor of the castle.
The central building has three above-ground floors and a basement.
The total usable area is 10,000 square meters.
The ground floor includes 2,300 square meters that can be used as space for a restaurant, various private rooms, and accommodation capacity.
The beautifully preserved castle chapel of St. John Nepomucene can serve for both religious rituals and as a concert hall.
On the first floor, there are 2,200 square meters, ideal for transformation into hotel rooms and private rooms.
The second floor has an area of 1,200 square meters, requiring the construction of luxurious rooms or suites.
The space on the third floor with the most beautiful view is 750 square meters.
Also noteworthy is the spacious basement, offering 1,700 square meters for the construction of wellness areas or transformation into cellars.
The castle is located not far from the confluence of the Moldau and Elbe rivers, about 2 kilometers from the town of Mělník in central Bohemia. Nearby is a nature reserve called Kokořínsko.
From the castle, there is a unique view of Mělník Castle, also owned by the Lobkowicz family, and Mount Říp.
The nearest airport, Václav Havel Airport Prague, is 40 kilometers away.
Thanks to its favorable location near Prague, the castle invites the construction of a large hotel with a luxury restaurant, preserving late Baroque elements with early Rococo touches, attracting guests with its historical charm.
The spacious basement can be used as a unique wellness space.
In the extensive castle park, the spaces of the orangery can be utilized, and other buildings can be transformed into stables with a riding arena.
There is ample parking space.
There is a project for the transformation into a luxury hotel.
