Valeč Château

A wedding in a Baroque kingdom

The grounds of Valeč Château in the Karlovy Vary region in the western part of the Czech Republic are a unique example of High-Baroque architecture and landscape urbanism. In favourable weather, the château park is a marvellous place for a wedding ceremony and offers an utterly unique atmosphere.
This Baroque gem was built by Italian architect Giovanni Antonio Biana Rossa in the first half of the 18th century. A gurgling fountain with small fish surrounded by boxwoods and copies of Baroque statutes based on Greek mythology crafted by Matthias Bernard Braun are located in the area in front of the château. The château church, dedicated to the Holy Trinity, is suitable for holding both religious and civil wedding ceremonies.

The château park used to be one of the most beautiful Baroque gardens in Bohemia. lt also includes a repaired greenhouse with a tall dome and a longitudinal nave and, above all, a theatron. This name originally refers to the auditorium of an ancient theatre, figuratively a grouping of statues in a certain scene. A theatron also used to be part of Baroque-style French and Italian gardens.
