Humprecht Hunting Lodge
Humprecht
An oval early-Baroque hunting lodge on a hilltop above Sobotka, with a strange echo effect in its tall oval hall.
The hunting lodge was built in the 17th century by Count Čerín, and is said to have been inspired by architecture in Istanbul. Its oval main body stands on a conical hilltop, making it strikingly visible from afar. The tall oval hall inside has a peculiar echo. Guided tours cover the history of the Čerín family, and visitors can climb the tower for views. It sits beside the town of Sobotka, about 3 km from Kost Castle, so the two can be visited together.
