The farm can only be visited by appointment. There is a path around the castle, very imposing. And the goats like it there too: D

It's a shame that we can't visit ?

Unfortunately, this time I cannot rate correctly A large number of white signs hang on the (wide open) main gate. Suggestion: a simple "entry prohibited for unauthorized persons" would be more understandable for everyone than a sign with a penalty of over 500 EUR for non-compliance with corona measures and a "only access for guided tours". Unfortunately, there is no information about when these will take place. So it is not necessarily immediately understandable that not even the site is allowed to be entered.

Cervená Lhota Castle

Červená Lhota castle stands at the middle of a lake on a rocky island. Its picturesque Renaissance building is a destination of thousands of tourists every year. Its name Červená Lhota meaning 'red lhota' can be explained by the colour of the château"s bright-red roof tiles. There is also a park, where the Chapel of the Holy Trinity is located.

The existence of an original fortress on the site of today"s château is assumed from sometime around the middle of the 14th century. It was built on a rocky granite outcrop, which, after the damming of a stream and the filling up of a fishpond, became an island. The first written source is an entry into the land records from 1465, mentioning the division of the property of deceased Ctibor of Zásmuk between his two sons Petr and Václav.
