Castolovice is beautiful Renaissance chateau from the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries, adapted in the 19th and 20th centuries. Inside a family gallery of the Šternberks and a gallery of the Czech rulers. The chateau is surrounded by an English park.
The owner of the castle, Diana Sternberg, established a Mini Zoo with a view to creating a”petting farm” so popular in England and the USA. Here children have the opportunity to see and touch a variety of domestic and exotic animals, which they have only seen in books. In our MiniZoo there are emu, llamas, Shetland ponies, donkeys, Cameroon sheep and goats, Göttingen pigs, pigeons, guinea fowl, peacock, various varieties of parrots, pheasant and the smallest breed of sheep in the world, Quessant. A favorite of the children are the small rabbits and guinepigs running around freely.
