Valdštejn (Waldstein) Castle

Castles & Country Houses, Museums & Art Centres
Valdštejn (Waldstein) Castle, dating back to the 13th century, has been mainly shaped, as we can see it today, by the Count von Waldstein until the first half of the 19th century and the Counts Lexa of Aehrenthal family thereafter.

They created a network of tourist trails, constructed look-out points and the spa of Sedmihorky. They made the Valdštejn castle accessible as one of the first tourist points of interest and their romantic alterations were the final touch, bringing back the atmosphere of ancient times.

At present, the Valdštejn castle is the property of the town of Turnov which takes very good care of it.
