A castle in the Kokořínsko countryside, north of Prague, that hosts weddings for 70 to 100 guests and company meetings, with 25 to 26 beds in the castle and its courtyard. Lobeč Castle sits in the village of Lobeč, 6 km northeast of Mšeno.
Seminars and company events
The castle offers its chambers for business meetings, with accommodation in the same building. Groups can also use the hall with a fireplace, the wine cellar and the outdoor areas. The castle kitchen cooks home-style meals, and a steam-powered brewery with a restaurant is two minutes from the castle.
The official site does not list capacities or equipment for meetings, so organisers should ask the team which chambers suit the group size. The surroundings give a rest-day program: cycling and hiking in the Kokořínsko protected landscape area, a trip to Máchovo Lake, and visits to Houska and Bezděz castles. On request the castle arranges horse riding, sport fishing, pheasant hunts and wild boar drives.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are the castle's main events offer. The team provides a complete service, from the ceremony and the banquet to accommodation. The ceremony takes place in the castle park or in a small church. The main hall holds 70 guests, and the front-castle area and the historic barn in the courtyard hold 80 to 100. Couples can combine the wedding day with the barn.
An in-house chef prepares the wedding menu for each couple, and the offer includes flower service and decoration. A separate wedding contact handles castle hire and weddings.
Rooms and capacities
The main hall seats 70 for a wedding banquet. The front-castle area and the barn take 80 to 100 guests. The castle also has a hall with a fireplace and a wine cellar cut into the sandstone beneath the castle, dating from the late fifteenth or early sixteenth century and open to groups.
Accommodation
The castle has six rooms with shared bathrooms and 26 beds in total. Two fully equipped apartments, each with its own bathroom and kitchenette, are in the castle courtyard outside the main building. A wedding party or a small seminar can therefore stay on site, while larger groups need partner accommodation nearby, which the team can suggest.
Catering
Meals come from the castle kitchen, which describes its cooking as home-style. Wedding menus are written with each couple. Breakfast is part of the stay, and a brewery restaurant sits two minutes away.
History and setting
Lobeč Castle is a cultural monument of the Czech Republic, in a quiet rural setting with a garden, a pool and a tennis court mentioned by guests. The wine cellar is a restored cellar carved into the rock under the castle.
