History and setting
Liblice is one of the most complete works of high baroque in Bohemia. Giovanni Battista Alliprandi drew up the design in 1699 for Arnošt Josef Pachta of Rájov. Countess Antonie of Waldstein bought it in 1863 and rebuilt the interiors in neo-Renaissance style, and the Thun-Hohenstein family owned it until 1945. The state then gave it to the Academy of Sciences. The park is open to individuals daily from 9:00 to 22:00, apart from special events.
Getting there
The address is Liblice 61, in the municipality of Byšice. The official pages do not describe train or road connections, so ask the reception for directions.
