The Chotek family library at Kačina Chateau
Kačina Chateau in Central Bohemia is home to the Chotek Library, one of the most beautiful historic library spaces in the entire world. The library holds a place of honour within the entire early 19th-century Empire-style chateau, which the Czech noble family of Chotek had built as a seasonal residence. It boasts unique architecture and 40,000 rare books and maps collected by the Choteks, while the interiors, which were modern for their time, also include a librarian’s apartment.
