History edit
Lemberk Castle was constructed in the 1240s by Havel of Markvartice. In the second half of the 16th century it was rebuilt into a Renaissance chateau and it acquired its present appearance after the mid-17th century under the lords of Breda. The last owners were the Clam-Gallas family, who owned the castle until 1945.[1]
Today edit
Today only the cylindrical tower is still standing from the original structure.[2] The castle is now state owned and accessible to public in the form of organized tours.[1]
