Sychrov Castle is located 100 km from Prague, in the picturesque protected area of the Czech Paradise. The castle received a new birth in the XIX century. The French family Roganovs created a real corner of France on Czech land. They rebuilt the castle in a romantic style. The Roganovs embodied their ideas of what an aristocratic estate should be. This estate is called the "carved fairy tale of the Czech Republic". The rooms and stairs of the castle are decorated with openwork wooden lace, which was created almost forty years ago.

Its towers and fairy-tale courtyard, luxuriously decorated interiors, carved furniture, and coffered ceilings all season serve as excellent decorations for the wedding and other festive photoshoots. You can immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the estate, and spend the night in the castle wellness hotel.

Czech composer Antonín Leopold Dvořák had been many times in Sychrov during the period 1877-1880 years. He liked to play the organ in the Sychrov chapel. Dvořák was visiting a friend of his, an employee of the castle, who loved music and lived with his family on the ground floor in the building of today's restaurant. Alois Goebel was the godfather of most of Dvořák's children, and one of the daughters was even named Aloysia, after her godfather. There is an exposition about the life and work of the composer in the halls of the castle since 1952, and also cycles of concerts "Sychrov of Dvořák" are held.
