Unique Historic Property Near Prague: Renaissance Fortress in Třebotov.
This meticulously restored Renaissance fortress, featuring a four-winged structure with arcades and a picturesque inner courtyard, spans centuries of history, encompassing elements of Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque styles. Its origins trace back to the early Middle Ages, situated at the site of the original settlement first mentioned in writing in 996.
Authentically Restored Renaissance Splendor
The extensive renovation commenced in 2000 and was completed in 2003, returning the property to its authentic Renaissance glory. During this process, all historically significant details and architectural elements from earlier eras and renovations were carefully preserved, including the original coverings of openings, a fragment of an early medieval vault, and the authentic vaulted ceilings.
On the first floor of the right wing there is an entrance hall, a wellness area with a 12x4 m indoor swimming pool with counter-current system, sauna and fitness facilities, a room for the technical equipment of the whole building and a storage room with washing and drying room. In the opposite first floor wing there is a separate entrance from the courtyard to a large presentation or exhibition room, which can also be used as a ballroom or café, as well as public toilets. This part can eventually be converted into a separate apartment with bathroom and kitchen, which has a separate entrance.
On the second floor there is a main dining room, a kitchen with preserved elements of the black kitchen (bread oven and smokehouse), an office (building control center, CCTV, Internet), 5 bedrooms with separate bathrooms, a living room, a smaller room with bathroom, a separate large suite with anteroom and bathroom in the historical style, and other traditional dressing rooms in Gothic vaults. The restored, consecrated chapel of St. John of Nepomuk with attributes for spiritual purposes and functional harmonium is an absolute specialty. All these rooms are connected by a passage in the courtyard.
