Kostelec nad Orlici

Kostelec nad Orlicí lies along the Divoká Orlice in the foothills of the Orlické Mountains, where the river valley opens into the gently rolling countryside of northeastern Bohemia. The town is closely linked with the Kinský family, whose Empire-style Nový zámek, built between 1829 and 1833, is its best-known architectural landmark. Set within a park, the château provides a formal counterpoint to the surrounding woodland and farmland. Kostelec nad Orlicí forms part of the chain of historic towns following the Orlice valley through eastern Czechia. See how Kostelec nad Orlicí relates to eastern Bohemia by browsing webcams nearby.
