Zámek Svijany hosts company events, seminars, training days, workshops, team buildings and weddings in a castle hotel with 17 bedrooms. The venue stands in Svijany, on the edge of the Bohemian Paradise region of northern Bohemia, about 40 minutes from Prague and 20 minutes from Liberec. It combines meeting spaces, on-site accommodation, a brewery restaurant and free parking next to the castle.
Seminars and company events
The official site presents the castle to companies for training sessions, conferences, workshops, team buildings and informal gatherings. Several settings are offered. The Zámecký šenk is the space used for large events. A small meeting salon suits compact working sessions. The hotel lounge on the ground floor has vaulted ceilings and can be used by a closed group by arrangement, with up to 25 people. Outside, the venue has a grill area and a large castle garden.
The team organises an event from start to finish. It can arrange catering, technical equipment, a leisure programme and accommodation, so an office manager can book one contact for the whole day or stay. A brochure with capacities is available on the venue's website, and the figures for each room should be confirmed in your request.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings take place in the castle rooms, the garden and the courtyard. The venue offers three wedding packages. The simplest covers the ceremony only. The most complete includes full service, with the assurance that no other wedding is held at the castle that day. Ceremony, meal, catering and an evening party can all be organised on site.
Rooms and capacities
The castle has 17 bedrooms with 41 beds, and extra beds can be added in some rooms. Rooms are on the second and third floors and are reached by lift. The hotel lounge takes up to 25 people. The Zámecký šenk, the meeting salon, the grill area and the garden are listed for company events, without figures on the web pages.
Accommodation
Room types include double rooms on the second floor and under the roof, a castle suite with a bedroom and a living room, an Apartment Deluxe with a view of the Příhrazské skály rocks, two four-bed attic suites with two bedrooms, and a four-bed Apartment Deluxe. Every room has a bathroom with a shower, except the castle suite, which has a bathtub. Breakfast is included in the room rate. Pets are accepted in standard rooms for a fee, but not in the castle suite or the Deluxe apartments. A charging station for electric cars is on site.
Catering
Breakfast is served in the Zámecký šenk, which doubles as a café in the courtyard. During private events the café closes to the public, and breakfast can move to the Svijany brewery restaurant, a few steps from the castle. That restaurant serves Czech cuisine and beers brewed at Svijany. The castle team can also provide cold catering or a keg of Svijany beer for a closed group in the hotel lounge.
History and setting
The castle belongs to the Svijany brewery estate, one of the older breweries in the Czech Republic. Guests can visit the castle exhibitions, including archaeological finds, a restored large chapel and an underground brewing display. The site also has a beer spa, brewery tours and the Arcana adventure games, which a group can add to an event day.
Getting there
Svijany is a village in the Liberec region. The castle is about 40 minutes by road from Prague and 20 minutes from Liberec. Parking is free at the hotel car park and in the area behind the castle. Reception is open from 7:00 to 20:00 all year.
