Progress And Innovation Cannot Be Stopped!
This special tour will take you to the unusual and normally inaccessible places of the chateau. From the cellar to the roof, from gothic to present days.
This extraordinary tour with the chateau manager will take you not only into untraditional places but also into rooms that are normally inaccessible. On the ground floor, you will look into the historical plans and architectural designs of the chateau complex and other technologically interesting buildings in Slatiňany and its surroundings. In the basement, you will see the utility parts of the exposition – the ice cellar, the kitchen or the boiling room from 1924 or the window well with renaissance sgraffito. After that, you will go upstairs into the attic located under the beams of baroque roof frame and into the tower, down the stairs, through the historical checkroom and dry-cleaning room with a built-in wardrobe of Prince Ferdinand, down the spiral staircase into the big bathroom where you will learn about the level of hygiene at the turn of the 20th century. In the end, you’ll enter the loggia and newly restored, 50-metre long balcony in the west and south wings.

When we furnish a new flat or when we renovate the old one, we’re looking for modern housing or the newest technological novelties. But has it always been like this? Especially as far as a chateau is concerned? Absolutely! And there is no better place to discover this than the Slatiňany chateau. Serving as a beloved home, it got modernized at the end of the 19th century by Franz Josef, Prince of Auersperg. He loved modern technologies so he had water pipes and water line installed in for seven bathrooms and ten toilets. In 1890, he installed electric wiring, a central heating system, he modernized the kitchen and built a dumbwaiter. In 1891, he had a telephone and in 1906 even an automobile… Make sure for yourself that living in the Slatiňany chateau was more comfortable than you would have guessed.
Slatiňany – the chateau full of stories, inventions and horses.
