What to expect
Originally a Gothic Castle in the French style, founded in the year 1300, it was rebuilt in the first half of the 16th century into a chateau. After 1889, it became the seat of Franz Ferdinand d´Este, the Habsburg Crown Prince, who had Konopiste modified to its present appearance. The interiors are richly decorated with furniture, paintings, glassware, and porcelain, as well as Ferdinand's private items - mainly hunting trophies. Of highest importance though is the famous d´Este armory - featuring the largest exhibition of Renaissance arms in Europe, including an extensive collection of historical weapons and armors.
