Jemniště Castle

The village of Jemniště is known for the Jemniště Castle. It is a Baroque residence built by František Maxmilián Kaňka in 1724–1725 for Count Frances Adam of Trauttmansdorff. At the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries, the French-style garden was remodelled into an English-style park. In 1868, the residence was bought by the Sternberg family. It was returned to their ownership in 1995. Part of the castle is open to the public and offers sightseeing tours.[8]
