The Story of Mcely     The Present meets the Past

“The story of Chateau Mcely is taken from a fairy tale.“

SAYS DOLCE VITA MAGAZINE


History in the making

Chateau Mcely, the former rural manor of the Thurn-Taxis aristocracy, is a completely renovated chateau, about an hour’s drive from Prague. The castle is situated in the middle of the legendary St. George Forest, above the small village of Mcely on Vinice Hill, next to the lush Jabkenice Game Park. Its unique location boasts breath-taking vistas for as far as the eye can see. And our highly-skilled staff is committed to provide our guests with impeccable service in a friendly atmosphere.

People have been here since the Bronze age, a major building here since the 17th century. Read more about our history.

While we think the restoration of the chateau hs been little less than a miracle, it should be no surprise as the region has been famous for its legends and miracles from medieval times.
