Linhartovy Chateau

Few chateaux have experienced such a rise in recent years as the one that stands right on the border with Poland in Linhartovy near the town of Albrechtice. Part of the original chateau garden is even already in Poland, with the Opavice River flowing past the chateau as the border.

Linhartovy was built in the sixteenth century in the spirit of the Renaissance, the surrounding park was a beautiful French garden. The castle fell into decline during the Second World War, when it housed a hospital for the German army. At that time, a fire broke out in the castle and the roof was only temporarily repaired.

Today, Linhartovy’s exterior resembles the original appearance of the chateau, but not much has been preserved inside. However, the chateau attracts tourists to an incredible number of exhibitions and cultural events. It has therefore become a popular destination for organised trips, including school trips.

It is one of the many chateaux that have made the area a unique place to explore history and the chateau grounds. The Osoblažsko region, for which Linhartovy and Město Albrechtice are the imaginary gateway, is therefore compared to the area around Versailles in France.
