Mnichovo Hradiste

Mnichovo Hradiště occupies a position in the Jizera River valley in northern Central Bohemia. The town stands near the edge of the Bohemian Paradise, a region of sandstone rock formations, woods and historic settlements. Its principal monument is Mnichovo Hradiště Château, a former Wallenstein residence developed from a Renaissance manor and later reshaped in Baroque style. The château’s Chapel of St Anne is the burial place of Albrecht von Wallenstein, the influential seventeenth-century military commander. The Jizera and the nearby countryside give the town a distinctly quieter setting than Prague. See how Mnichovo Hradiště fits within Central Bohemia by browsing webcams nearby.
