Ďáblice - U Parkánu 21/5

Beautiful place

There are many beautiful places to walk in the Devil's Forest and below.

It is currently in "rebuilding" so sometimes it is difficult to find something for staff.

Beautifully renovated myself I participated in a few small things, tomorrow masses I recommend to visit.

Rural Baroque residence of the Crusaders built in 1755 after the burning of the orig. fortress. Around are large buildings of the farmyard of the order. After the 1770, F. I. Platzer worked on the sculptural decoration.

The oldest written record of the medieval village of Ďáblice dates from 1253, when the Order of the Red Star Crusaders received it as a gift from Wenceslas I. The Crusaders built a court here, mentioned in 1438. In the Middle Ages, there used to be a fortress by the court, later it was replaced by a chateau (hospital with a chapel). The chateau acquired its current appearance in the High Baroque style after a devastating fire in 1755. The mansion roof is dominated by a turret. The facade of the castle is fitted with sculptures of St. Wenceslas and angels probably by Ignác František Platzer. Unfortunately, the building is inaccessible to the public.
