Courtyard of Opočno Castle

The Opočno Castle is a complex of buildings in renaissance style near Opočno built for Trčka of Lípa on the location of a former gothic castle. A representative renaissance seat of the Trčkas of Lípa, it was built between 1560 and 1569. In 1634 when Jan Rudolf Trčka died, his testament was ignored. The Colloredos received the property for their support to House of Habsburg, instead of passing the property to Trčka's daughters and granddaughter. The Colloredos had the chateau modified (probably by architect G. B. Alliprandi).

Historical interiors with a fine gallery founded by F. G. Colloredo Mansfeld, a library, and halls with ethnographic collections. An armoury housing weaponry from the 16th to 19th centuries, including oriental weapons. Large garden with ponds, a renaissance summer house and an extensive landscape park with a rich collection of tree species.

In 2003 regional court decided to return the Opočno castle from the state possession to Colloredo family.[dated info]
