Barokní statek Benice

Not even one hour drive from Prague, directly in the heart of the former manor of archduke Frantisek Ferdinand d´Este, there is the unique baroque estate Benice, the seat of the biggest private breeder of Kladruby horses both in our country and in the world, the stud FAVORY.

The baroque estate Benice is a unique three-winged building, fitted in a form of even-sided triangle, built around 1750 by Frantisek Vaclav of Vrtba, in connection with the general repairs that were being undertaken. The last estate owner of an aristocratic origin was Frantisek Ferdinand d´Este. At present time, the estate is registered as a cultural monument.

The stud FAVORY is not only a place for horse lovers, it also offers many services for the public – horseback and carriage rides in beautiful nature, riding and carriage driving lessons for beginners and advanced riders, accommodation directly in the historical estate buildings, restaurant in the antique grange room, outdoor barbecue. The surrounding countryside is ideal for cycling tours, so you can rent a bicycle at the estate and try one of the many cycling paths around. Children are always very welcome in Benice and they can experience a donkey ride or meet our ponies, the goat Charles, the mule Hugo and others. We organize every year summer children camps focused on learning riding.
