Zámek Spálené Poříčí is a castle in the town of Spálené Poříčí, near Plzeň, at the foot of the Brdy hills. For organizers, the practical figures are on the castle's own site: 20 rooms with 66 beds, a social room for 40 people, a fully equipped kitchen and free Wi-Fi throughout. The castle presents itself for residential seminars, corporate teambuilding and weddings, and the garden, the courtyard and a ceremonial hall are all used for celebrations.
Seminars and company events
The castle says it can offer accommodation for up to 66 people, a base for company teambuilding and a venue for a residential seminar. The social room holds 40 people and gives a group a place to meet, work or eat together. The kitchen is fully equipped, which helps a group that brings its own catering or wants to cook together.
The site also lists secure storage for bicycles, cross-country skis and prams, ten parking spaces and Wi-Fi throughout the building. For a small team that wants to sleep and work under one roof, away from a city office, this is the size of group the castle fits.
Weddings and receptions
Wedding ceremonies take place in the castle garden or in the castle park. A pond with a mill lies close to the park, and the courtyard is available for rent as a space for an outdoor reception or an evening celebration. Wedding tents can be rented for protection in bad weather. In unfavorable weather the ceremonial hall, called the aula, serves for ceremonies and festive moments indoors.
The accommodation and the large kitchen sit in the same complex, so guests can stay on site and food can be prepared or stored there during the wedding day. To fix a date for a civil ceremony, contact the registry office of the town of Spálené Poříčí. Ceremonies at the castle are reserved for the first and third weekends of each month.
Rooms and capacities
Three figures matter. The castle sleeps up to 66 people in 20 rooms, the social room holds 40, and ten cars can park on site. The aula and the courtyard are named for ceremonies and receptions, but the site gives no capacity for them. Ask for the layout and the headcount you need.
Accommodation
Accommodation is the core of the offer. The attic of the castle is furnished in a classic guesthouse style, with 66 beds, and it is open all year. Schools use it for class trips, and the same arrangement suits company groups and wedding guests.
Catering
The castle lists a fully equipped kitchen and a large kitchen for the wedding day, but it does not describe its own restaurant or an in-house catering service. Plan on bringing a caterer or cooking yourselves, and confirm the rules for this when you ask.
History and setting
A medieval fortress once stood on the site. The present building is Renaissance at its core, with baroque and neo-Gothic elements. The castle is owned and managed by the Metropolitan Chapter of St. Vitus in Prague, which held the local estate from the mid-18th century, apart from the socialist period. It is the natural center of the small town of Spálené Poříčí, near Plzeň. A castle garden, cycling routes into the southern Brdy and the newly established Brdy protected landscape area lie close by, which suits a team that wants an outdoor program.
Getting there
The castle address is Zámecká 1, 335 61 Spálené Poříčí. Parking on site is limited to ten spaces, so plan shared transport for larger groups.
