A Baroque chateau from the 18th century, rebuilt from the Renaissance Valdštejn chateau on the site of a former Gothic fort by the Counts of Morzin.

There are no typical guided tours but occasional exhibitions and a cycle of cultural events called “Léto na zámku” – Summer at the Chateau are held here.

The chateau in Lomnice nad Popelkou was built in the 16^th century on the site of the original fort from the 13^th century. In the years 1730 – 1737 it underwent Baroque reconstruction and later on other alterations.

It is a single-storey building with three wings whose side wing adjacent to the square is highlighted by a mansard roof and a rather indented Baroque façade. During the years 2009 – 2010 the chateau underwent reconstruction, and in October 2010 was re-opened.

The Municipal library and Culture and information centre of the town of Lomnice nad Popelkou resides in the building and is at the same time its administrator.
