konopiste castle

Konopiste Castle History
Konopiště is a château (castle) located in the Czech Republic, about 50 km southeast of Prague, outside the city of Benešov. It has become famous as the last residence of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, heir of the Austro-Hungarian throne, whose assassination in Sarajevo triggered World War I. The bullet that killed him, fired by Gavrilo Princip, is now an exhibit at the castle's museum.

The castle was initially constructed as a Gothic fortification in the 13th century. It was later transformed in a Baroque style. Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria bought Konopiště in 1887, with his inheritance from the last reigning Duke of Modena, and rebuilt it into a luxurious residence, suitable to the future Emperor; which he preferred to his official residence in Vienna. He invited William II, German Emperor to see his roses early in June, 1914; insofar as they discussed politics, they discussed Romania, but conspiracy theories about their planning an attack on Serbia or a division of the Austro-Hungarian Empire arose at the time and since. (After the Archduke's assassination, later in the month, the memory of this visit may have moved the Emperor to give Austria more rein in dealing with Serbia than he had in the Bosnian crisis of 1909.). Since 1921, the castle has been a property of the Czechoslovak and later Czech state, one of 90 such in state ownership. The Ministry of Culture is said to spend more than US$ 800,000 per year to maintain the castle, and recovers about as much from entrance ticket sales and rental for occasional functions.

Konopiste Castle History
Konopiště castle is now open to the public. Visitors can observe the residential rooms of Franz Ferdinand, a large collection of antlers (Franz Ferdinand was an enthusiastic hunter), an armory with medieval weapons, a shooting hall with moving targets and a garden with Italian Renaissance statues and greenhouses. It is a popular place for weddings.

Currently, HSH Princess Sophie von Hohenberg, a descendant of Franz Ferdinand, is claiming for the restitution of the castle to her family, which was never recognized as part of the House of Habsburg, on the ground that the provisions of Article 208 of the Treaty of Saint Germain, and the Article 3 of Law no.354 of 1921 in Czechoslovakia, do not apply to them. She filed a law suit in December 2000 in Benesov, the nearest city, for the Castle and its dependencies comprising 6,070 hectares of woodland and including a brewery.

How it works.
1) Prices are pre group not per person (or per vehicle capacity)
2) All excursions are private and 100% flexible, that means if you wish to stay longer or go back earlier (we adjust your price on the spot)
3) There isn't licensed tour guide (only on request). Driver provides basic information on the way. At most excursion destinations you are able to arrange tours and guides on the spot or are already included in the entrance ticket (like in Terezin, Karlstejn etc.) more info
How do I pay for a tour?
If you book online (via email or phone), you have choice to pay online using your credit or debit card, paypal or cash to the tour guide - driver.
What is your best recommendation?
One of our most demanding daytrips is exkursion to the SPA town of Karlovy Vary. This day trip is much recommended for everyone who wants to see another part of Czech Republic. You will not regret, we promise.
Can you arrange a proffesional tour guide?
Yes, we can but we think it is not essential and not good value. Better is to get organize tour on the spot, or get all the information from the visitor centre. Also our driver is your "mini" tour guide which has basic knowledge about your destination.
