The landscape around Castolovice—Častolovice in Czech—is gently rolling farmland in the Bělá River valley beneath the Orlické Mountains, which has shaped both the settlement’s compact form and its agricultural economy. The community lies in eastern Bohemia near Rychnov nad Kněžnou, where lowland fields gradually give way to wooded uplands toward the Czech–Polish border. Častolovice Castle is the defining landmark: this Renaissance château developed from a medieval water fortress and is known for its arcaded courtyard. Its park and historic buildings lend the centre a distinct character, while the surrounding fields remain integral to local life.
