Zámecká kaple Nejsvětějšího Srdce Ježíšova

In 1676, Libochovice was bought by Count Gundakar of Dietrichstein, and soon afterwards a fire broke out in the town and the castle burned down. The new lord embarked on plans to build a monumental early Baroque castle. In the years 1682 - 1690, the builder Antonio della Porta was entrusted with the management of the building. A two-storey building with a rectangular floor plan with a risalit in the main façade was created. The north side consists of a small courtyard near the castle building, a Gothic chapel and lower farm buildings. In 1833, there was, among other things, a grain warehouse in the chapel and in later years even a distillery. The inner courtyard is partly surrounded by arcades and a park, connected by a sala terrain. The decoration of the chateau was provided by many important artists. Reconstructions of the chapel as we know it today date from the early Baroque period and later in 1833. Unfortunately, the chapel is currently not accessible within any of the visiting circuits.
