Liblice Castle

Liblice (German: Liblitz , also Lieblitz ) is a municipality in Central Bohemia in the Czech Republic . It is located nine kilometers southeast of Mělník , on the right side of the Košátecký potok .

history

Liblice was first mentioned in a document in 1254 with a "Woczlaus de Lublich". In 1321 it was owned by the brothers Kunat and Frycek, who were the ancestors of the later lords of Liblice . A fort is documented for the year 1375. At the end of the 15th century Liblice was owned by Johann von Liblitz, who was married to Katharina Kdulinec von Ostroměř ( Kdulinec z Ostroměře ). Their daughter Johanna von Liblitz ( Johanka z Liblic ; † 1515) brought the Liblitz rule into the marriage when she married the Oberstlandmarschall Wilhelm II. Von Pernstein as a marriage property, who however soon sold it to the Smiřický von Smiřice men . In 1544 Liblitz came to the Vliněves family. In 1669 it was acquired by the Prague burgrave and chief judge of Bohemia, Daniel Norbert Pachta von Reihofen . He built a renaissance castle on the site of the former fort. Under Arnold Pachta von Reihofen ( Arnošt Pachta z Rájova ) Giovanni Battista Alliprandi built a new baroque palace based on the model of Viennese palace buildings 1699–1706. Before the middle of the 19th century, Liblitz came to Friedrich von Deym . In 1863 it was owned by Antonie von Waldstein , who had the castle rebuilt in the neo-renaissance style. After her death, it fell to her daughter, who was married to a Count Thun and Hohenstein , whose descendants were expropriated by Czechoslovakia in 1945.

The Liblice Castle was built in the years 1699–1706 by Giovanni Battista Alliprandi according to a design by Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach in the Baroque style. Since 1952 it has been owned by the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences , which was dissolved in 1992. Its successor is the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic . In 1963 the Kafka Conference took place in the castle, which was not open to the general public . After being converted into a conference center, another conference was held in 2008 on the life and work of the writer Franz Kafka .
The originally Gothic St. Wenceslas Church from 1384 was changed to Baroque style in 1710 and an oratory was added. Under the high altar is the crypt of the Pachta von Reihofen ( Pachtové z Rájova )
Grave chapel of the Counts of Thun-Hohenstein, west of the castle.
