Kačina Castle
Kačina Castle is one of the most important buildings of Empire architecture in Bohemia. It stands about 6.5 km northeast of Kutná Hora, in the village of Svatý Mikuláš, on the road to Nové Dvory.
The magnificent chateau on the plan of an open horseshoe has a two-storey central part with a classical portico of six columns with a tympanum, followed at both ends by ground-floor arched residential buildings with a columned gallery, topped by two-storey buildings of the library and theatre. In the central part is a circular former chapel with a lantern and a ballroom. The whole building measures 227 m. The chateau houses the Museum of the Bohemian Countryside, founded in 1891 and administered by the National Museum of Agriculture, a library with 40,000 books from the 16th to 19th centuries, a theatre, a pharmacy and a greenhouse.
The chateau, also called "Husa", was built by Count Jan Rudolf Chotek in 1802-1822 by the architect J. Fischer from Prague according to the plans of the Dresden architect Ch. F. Schuhnicht. A. Schrott and V. Prachner.
