Weddings in the Czech Republic - day three

Prague trip 2010

8th of September 2010

Early the next morning following a quick breakfast we headed out on a small coach to Stirin a small village 1 hour from Prague

Chateau Stirin




Our first view of the Chateau was the Goudi Inspired restaurant. Not quite what we expected to see, its unusual décor is only for the adventurous that would like something that bit different for their wedding. Artis Restaurant can seat up to 100 for dinner in either a formal dinner or bbq.


For the less adventurous there is a very pretty atmospheric room on the lower ground called Sam's Hall with concave ceilings. There is also a charming Mediterranean style restaurant with lovely garden views that can host parties up to 60 people.

The chateau has a small chapel covered with deep coloured fresco’s and has a handsome altar, it can host a wedding for up to 60 people in either a religious or civil wedding ceremony.

This venue is perfect for those wanting a countryside wedding and reception amongst beautiful gardens and countryside, and this is a great venue for anyone wanting a quirky twist to surprise their guests.


Chateau Cervena Lhota






It was then back on the bus and onto Cervena Lhota a striking red chateau positioned on a picturesque lake.

The small chapel in the Chateau is decorated in shades of antique pinks and George V style furniture. The room can fit up to 80 people. This venue is available all year and I can imagine particularly lovely for summer weddings as you can make the most of the outdoor space and beautiful setting.

On the grounds is also a catholic wedding chapel accessed by a steep cobbled pathway, it is colourfully decoration with a deep blue ceiling adorned with gold stars.

Weddings can also be held outside on the grassy bank overlooking the chateau. A very pretty spot next to the lake for summer weddings.

Adjacent is a simply decorated restaurant which can host wedding dinners and receptions, you can also stay in the hotel across form the chateau which we would recommend if you marry here as you are over one hour from the centre of Prague so quite a journey in your wedding dress! A lovely weekend wedding idea perhaps.

State Chateau of Hluboka

Our last stop of the day was the State Chateau of Hluboka, a stunning fairytale style castle perfect for any princess bride. Inspired by Windsor Castle the Chateau can accommodate weddings on Fridays and Saturdays from April to September with the exception of May when the chateau is closed.

The simply decorated chapel can host religious or civil weddings and the grounds are simply breathtaking, you’ll most definitely feel like a princess here. The chateau is 1.45 minutes from the centre of Prague so you may want to host your reception in one of the local restaurants and stay in the area for the evening of the wedding.


Tomorrow we visit the medieval chateau of Zbiroh’s
