Seminars and company events
Company meetings, training sessions, presentations, team-building days and banquets take place at Zámek Dětenice, a Baroque château in north-east Bohemia that forms a resort with two hotels, a medieval tavern and a brewery. Accommodation for up to 280 guests lets a company keep a whole group on site. Meetings are held in the château salons, some of which have Wi-Fi, and a projection screen, a flipchart and a data projector can be borrowed. Organizers can rent a single salon, part of one, the whole château or the castle park.
The resort builds team programs around its medieval theme. A battle contest of games in the park is led by one of the resort's costumed characters and ends with an awards ceremony for the winning team. Other additions include a welcome by halberdiers and trumpeters, a cannon shot, medieval contests, a tour of the château and brewery, and a fireworks display at midnight. Banquets, receptions, gala evenings and concerts can be arranged, and a photographer can record the event.
Weddings and receptions
Couples can hold the ceremony in any of the château's reception rooms or at a chosen spot in the park, and can rent the whole château and its garden for full privacy. Wedding packages include a menu, and the team can arrange decorations, flowers, photography, video, entertainment and traditional customs. The château also hosts birthdays, garden parties, balls and theater evenings.
Rooms and capacities
The château salons can be hired one by one, in part or all together, and the 4-hectare park takes outdoor games, garden parties and ceremonies. The Středověká krčma, the medieval tavern, seats groups for dinner with a daily show. The resort does not publish capacities for individual salons, so numbers are confirmed with the events office before booking.
Accommodation
The Středověký hotel, a medieval-themed hotel, has 68 rooms. Hotel Rustikal has 46 beds, or 65 with extra beds. Renovated apartments inside the château, including one called the Golden Castle Apartment, come with breakfast served in the apartments. Together they house up to 280 guests, and hotel guests have a table reserved for them in the tavern.
Catering
Group meals are served in the Středověká krčma, where dishes are cooked and served over an open fire. A show with sword fighters, dancers, jesters, a fire-eater and live music runs every evening from 7 pm to 10 pm, which gives a company dinner its entertainment without extra planning. Wedding menus are chosen as part of the package.
History and setting
The château is a Baroque building set in a 4-hectare park, and the resort around it has grown into a themed village. Its own brewery offers tours and a beer museum, and the calendar includes knight tournaments, concerts, a Krampus procession and Saint Martin's feasts, so a group visiting in season can join a public event as part of its program.
Getting there
The resort lies in the village of Dětenice, in north-east Bohemia near the town of Jičín, and is reached by road from Prague.
