Roudnice Nad Labem

Roudnice nad Labem is a rewarding destination for anyone looking to combine culture, history and wine in a varied stay. Roudnice Chateau is at the heart of it all: it can be visited as part of a guided tour that brings together several historical layers. The tour leads to the foundations of the Romanesque castle, into a theatre hall and a Baroque chapel. Concerts, festivals and theatre performances are also regularly held at the Chateau.

Castle History and City Discoveries

The city's history can also be explored beyond the Chateau. The former Augustinian monastery in Roudnice nad Labem is considered the most important Gothic monument in the Podřipsko region. Its historical status is an explicit part of this classification: it is a former Augustinian monastery. The Podřipské Museum complements this focus with a permanent exhibition on the prehistory, Middle Ages and modern era of the Podřipsko region.

Another prominent testimony to the city's history is the Hláska Tower. It is the only surviving remnant of the fortifications of the oldest part of Roudnice nad Labem. Those who would like to explore history not only through exhibitions and buildings but also in a playful way can use the interactive tour “Roudnice nad Labem v proměnách staletí”. Using a smartphone and a QR code, it leads visitors through the history and centre of the city and includes ten puzzle stations. For families, this creates a different form of city walk, combining discovery with historical orientation.

Wine as a Special Part of Your Stay

Roudnice nad Labem also has a strong wine tradition. The Zámek Lobkowicz Roudnice winery has more than 400 years of winemaking tradition. Wine tastings take place in the historic cellars of Roudnice Chateau or at the Sovice vineyard. This makes it possible to combine a cultural experience at the Chateau with a direct insight into the regional wine world. This focus may be of interest when choosing your accommodation if you would like to shape your stay not only around sightseeing but also around culinary discoveries.

Active Routes and Views

There is also a clear starting point for a more active day. Along the way, the Labská stezka invites visitors to stop in Roudnice nad Labem and visit Lobkowicz Chateau. The town can thus be included in a cycling tour along this route, without any specific distance or travel time being inferred from the documented invitation.

A lookout point with an unusual shape is the Kratochvílova rozhledna. The observation tower is a concrete tower up to 13 m high with a circular floor plan. Together with the historical sights, museum and wine offerings, it creates a stay with a range of different focuses: guided culture, regional history, wine and an excursion into the outdoors.
