Zámek Náchod is a castle and palace complex rising on a rocky hill above the city of Náchod. The fortification was probably founded in the 13th century by Hron of the Načeratic family. In the 16th and 17th centuries the Gothic castle was rebuilt into the Renaissance style. The castle was built on a trade route near the Czech-Kladno border and had great strategic importance.
In 1842, the estate was bought by Prince Georg Wilhelm Schaumburg-Lippe for his son William Charles Augustus. The princes in Nachod ruled until the end of World War II. In 1945, the castle was confiscated and handed over to the state administration.
The interiors of the palace contain valuable collections of Flemish tapestries, a gallery of paintings by the Piccolomin family and a library. From the terrace of the castle tower, measuring over 50 m in height, there is a magnificent view of the surrounding French park with an exotic forest stand, the panorama of the city, the Náchodzka valley, surrounding hills and the Polish Table Mountains.
