Hi there my Hivean friends and followers!
As promised in the two of my previous posts about the amazing Pruhonice Park, I´m finally going to show you the famous Pruhonice Chateau as well. But me let me start out by thanking you all for the incredible support and engagement of those two posts dedicated to the Pruhonice Park that you can find here and here.
This 2-part photography mini series has received more than a thousand of upvotes and some 130 comments from you guys, which is something I´m really happy and grateful for. So thank you again, it was a pleasure to take you on those walks around the lovely park and I hope that you will enjoy the chateau too ;)
With its very origins dating back to the 14th century, the Pruhonice Chateau actually used to be a Gothic castle. Over the centuries, however, the chateau (then castle) has been owned by many different aristocrats and noble families and it has also undergone several major reconstructions and extensions. Therefore, as you will surely notice in the pictures below, the current appearance of the chateau is not Gothic anymore, it´s actually the so called Neo-Renaissance and it was renovated according to this architectural style at the end of the 19th century.
You might remember from the previous posts that the adjacent Pruhonice Park is also a botanical garden and the chateau is actually the official seat of the Czech Institute of Botany. Since 2010, the chateau has also been listed as one of the National Cultural Monuments of the Czech Republic. As a complex together with the Pruhonice Park, it´s a UNESCO World Heritage Site as well.
Given the fairy tale - like appearance of the chateau, it probably comes as no surprise that the chateau has been featured in many Czech fairy tales and fantasy movies including my favorite Christmas fairy tale (and one of the most popular Czech fairy tales in general) that sometimes goes by the free English translation "Give the Devil his Due".
The Pruhonice Chateau is a really charming piece of architecture and I will now take you there through these pictures to see for yourself ;)
I hope you enjoyed the photos of the Pruhonice Chateau. Taking them was not easy as the central courtyard is pretty small and confined by the majestic walls of the chateau. Moreover, the weather was quite challenging too that day as the low but strong autumnal sun was later replaced by quite heavy cloudy skies so the light conditions were not exactly favorable for my old phone camera in either case. However, I think you could still get some idea of what this wonderful place looks like and feels like ;)
Thanks for your attention guys. Greetings from autumnal Prague!

Thank you for the retweet! :)
Wow! These are landscapes and stunning architectural ensembles.
Thank you for your skill. After all, the main thing is to choose the right angle, otherwise even the most beautiful house may seem simple and inconspicuous in the photo.
It was very interesting to look at your amazing photos!
Very true words, it can be difficult to take some nice photos of large buildings when you are too close :) Glad you enjoyed the results of my efforts. Have an amazing weekend!
Great place, great photos mate. It is always great to read such posts from the first hand, because you inspire people to visit Prague. Your posts deserve to be upvoted and commented ;)

That is called Paradise. I think this is the best word for it. Lovely architecture!
Thank you Erika :) I know you like both architecture and nature and this place is a very nice combo of these two, you would love it there :)
Finally! 🤩Thank you for taking us in the fairly world. Those are great photos though you used old phone, huh? Not really obvious though, they're all great photograph.
Thank you Franz! Yeah, just shooting with my old phone but with a bit of editing, the photos are not so bad sometimes ;) Was a pleasure to finally show you around the chateau too!
I like that architecture with reflection on the water the most 😊
You mean the first shot? Me too, that´s why I used it as the thumbnail pic ;)

Dík za pivko!
The beautiful building coupled with its location next to the lake makes it even more comfortable to live in and a place to relax in the afternoon
Right. The surrounding is just as beautiful. It must have been such a treat to live in the chateau :) Thanks for swinging by!
indeed this is a wonderful place ! it looks like a castle , like those we see in the movies
It actually was a castle before they turned it into a chateau :) Yeah, very fairy tale like appearance, I agree :)
What a Great piece of Architecture! Brilliant work with Pictures. !Awesome.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed this little collection :)
Wow...beautiful places..
Indeed. Thanks for checking out the pictures :)
You are welcome sir
still, even with the challenges in taking the pictures you did great. I bet some parts are very challenging because they are against the light?
Yes, here in Central Europe, the sun is in a very low position even around the noon in this part of the year so it can be pretty challenging for photographers :) Glad you still liked the picutres though, thank you!

Oh God. How beautiful and historically rich is Prague. I'm jealous. Amazing photography bro
Thanks mate :) In fact, this is not really Prague, it´s the very outskirts of the city. The historic center of Prague is literally packed with cool buildings dating back to long centuries ago. I hope you will make it here one day to see for yourself :) Greetings to Pakistan!
Thank you!
