Concert Pro Gaudio in Nelahozeves: Musical Virtuosos and Young Talents

The seventh year of the MenART Academy will culminate in a festive meeting of the violin, piano and clarinet sections under the direction of Jan Fišer, Irvin Venyš and Ivo Kahánek. In cooperation with the Lobkowicz family, we kindly invite you to a special day in Nelahozeves, where together we will present not only the results of a year's work of 20 young musicians from all over the Czech Republic, but also the continuing tradition of supporting the next generation of artists.

Explore

One of Bohemia’s finest Renaissance castles, this 16th-century estate is perched above the Vltava River, 35 km from Prague. It features a permanent exhibition, gift shop, festivals, event spaces, gardens and walking trails, and Italian-inspired architecture.

Exhibition Tour

Discover the castle’s permanent exhibition, Private Spaces: A Noble Family at Home. Inspired by the era of Ferdinand Zdenko, 10th Prince Lobkowicz (1858–1938), twelve period rooms illustrate how a Czech noble family lived in the 19th century. The tour features books and manuscripts from the Lobkowicz Library, Old Master paintings by Brueghel, Rubens, Veronese, Cranach the Younger, and Panini, fine furniture, unusual hunting trophies, and a vast arms collection.

From the opening of the new season on March 29, 2025, a new temporary exhibition, "Garden Architects in the Service of the Aristocracy" will also begin. It will introduce visitors to the process of planning castle parks and gardens.
