The chateau Peruc is located in the Usti nad Labem district, eastward of Louny.
The chateau is set right in the middle of a village of the same name. The chateau history is very long, it had been many times rebuilt and renewed. At the beginning it used to be a castle in 13th century. Even nowadays you can see some parts of it- the basement, the Romance line aisler under the north wing of the chateau. In 1319 a fortress was built at that place by order of the lords from Peruce. The fortress was renewed with the arrival of a new architecture style-Renaissance in 16th century as well as in 18th century with Baroque fashion.
The chateau is now under construction, but chateau park is accessible.
