SMALL ZOO

In the castle grounds there is a castle park, which is stylized into a children's paradise. Here you will discover a fairytale land full of elves by the famous discoverer of fairytale land Vítězslava Klimtová, a hell with devils, a gingerbread house with a witch, Mike the cat, a mini zoo, a playground and a museum. The castle park includes a permanent exhibition of miniature Czech castles, chateaux and other historically interesting objects. Besides, you can stay directly at the castle in a renovated hotel.

The park was founded around 1725 by František Adam Trauttmansdorff. At the end of the 18th century, the original French garden was transformed and expanded into a natural landscape park by Henry Rottenhan. The current owners have taken proper care of the park, restored the path system, renovated and adapted the park to its present form, as you can see it when visiting the castle.

Bear breeding in Konopiště has a long tradition. The first bears were acquired in the middle of the 19th century by the Lobkowitz family and Archduke Franz Ferdinand d'Este continued the tradition.

Farmapark is a place for leisure and fun for all ages. Nearly 250 animals from all over the world live here - camels, kangaroos, ostriches, buffaloes, llamas, pigs and alpine cows. The 250,000 square metre complex includes playgrounds, trampolines, slides, swings, climbing frames, water play, a rope centre and refreshments.

The Břežany Valley Zoo Corner, also known as the Zbraslav Small Forest Zoo, is located on the left side of the Břežany Valley, on the path along the left bank of the Břežany Brook, about half a kilometre from the Prague-Zbraslav railway station.
