Zámek Židlochovice is a hunting castle in Židlochovice, in the Czech Republic, with a modern conference center that takes from 24 to 90 people theatre style. The castle also offers a main hall for 80 people at tables, several smaller salons, a picture gallery, a chapel for wedding ceremonies, accommodation and catering from its own kitchen. It is run by Lesy ČR, the Czech state forest enterprise.
Seminars and company events
The conference center is designed for conferences, seminars, company trainings and business meetings, and it is equipped with audiovisual technology. It consists of a meeting hall and an anteroom. The anteroom is used mainly for refreshments, and sound from the meeting hall can be fed into it. The meeting hall can be laid out in many ways, so its capacity changes with the layout: from 24 people up to 90 in theatre seating.
That range suits a board session of two dozen people as well as a company plenary. A group can hold its sessions in the hall and its coffee breaks next door, without leaving the conference center.
Weddings and receptions
The castle chapel is offered for wedding ceremonies. For the celebration afterwards, the main hall of the castle seats 80 people at tables, and the picture gallery is another space the castle lists for events. The castle also accepts festive dinners and buffet receptions, served by its kitchen.
Rooms and capacities
The castle publishes a clear list of rooms. The conference meeting hall holds 24 to 90 people, depending on layout, with 90 for theatre seating. The main hall holds 80 people at tables. The hunting dining room holds 24 people. The pink salon and the hunting salon hold 16 people each. The picture gallery and the chapel complete the list, and no capacity is given for them.
The smaller rooms are useful for breakout groups, a private dinner for a leadership team or a negotiation table. Ask the castle which rooms can be booked together on your date.

History and setting
The castle is described as one of the best-preserved hunting castles in Europe. Its history begins in the 14th century with a water fortress on the Amber Road, which linked the Mediterranean with the Baltic coast. The Žerotín and Waldstein families were among its important owners. Count Sinzendorf rebuilt it in the baroque style between 1696 and 1743. Archduke Friedrich, who owned it from 1895 to 1918, shaped the classicist form that survives today, and he brought hunting trophies from across Austria-Hungary into the interior. The castle has belonged to the Czech state since 1918, and President T. G. Masaryk stayed here several times in the 1920s and 1930s.
An English-style park of 22 hectares, laid out in the early 18th century, adjoins the castle and is open to the public all year. Note that the park is public when you plan outdoor photographs or receptions.
