Bílina Castle
The Bílina Castle (Schloss Bilin) is a baroque palace in the city of Bílina in kraj Ústecký , Czech Republic .
Originally, Bílina had been the early medieval administrative center of the region since the 10th century. In the 13th century, a high medieval castle was built near the original hill fort on the site of today's castle. In 1502 Děpold von Lobkowicz bought the castle.
Between 1675 and 1682, Wenzel Ferdinand von Lobkowicz converted the complex into a representative baroque palace based on designs by Giovanni Pietro Tencalla and Antonio della Porta . Further renovations took place in the 19th century.
The castle belonged to the Lobkowicz family until 1945, after which it was confiscated and returned after 1989.
