Děčín Castle (Zámek Děčín) can be rented for conferences, workshops, company anniversaries, concerts, balls and weddings, with a Library Hall for up to 300 people in theatre seating and gardens that take the same number. The castle stands on a rock above the town of Děčín in northern Bohemia, at Dlouhá jízda 1254, and is run as a public cultural organization that also sells overnight stays in two units on site.
Seminars and company events
The castle's rental page lists nine spaces and the formats each suits. The Library Hall is the largest: up to 300 in theatre seating or 200 at tables, with crystal chandeliers and a view of the castle park. It is offered for balls, conferences, training, workshops and concerts, and the English and French salons can serve as support rooms for refreshments or a program. The Baroque Hall takes up to 100 in theatre seating or 60 at tables and is listed for conferences and training. The Corner Hall (90 theatre, 60 at tables) is suggested for seminars. The Blue Hall (70 theatre, 40 at tables) fits workshops and training and can be combined with the Corner Hall.
Outdoors, the Southern Gardens hold up to 300 and are offered for company anniversaries, promotional events and product presentations. The Main Courtyard is rented for an evening by arrangement. The Rose Garden, under its gazebo, holds 100 in theatre seating or 200 at a standing reception.

A chapel of St. John of Nepomuk in Chrást, a neo-Gothic building in a forest park, is also available for ceremonies. Live music by a trio is included with ceremonies. A wedding coordinator helps with the budget, guest numbers, space and decoration, recommends external suppliers such as florists, photographers and makeup artists, and can provide an assistant on the day.

The apartment sleeps four, with a large room with a double bed, a smaller room with two beds, an equipped kitchen and a bathroom with a bathtub. The double room sleeps two and has a kitchenette. This suits a couple or a small organizing team rather than a seminar group.
