Frýdlant is one of largest and most important heritage sites in Northern Bohemia. It consists of two architectural complexes: a medieval castle and a renaissance chateau.The castle was founded in the mid 13th Century by the members of Ronovec Family. The first documented member of the family connected with Frýdlant was Èastolov of Ronov in 1257. On February 7, 1278, Rudolf of Biberstein purchased the castle from the king Otakar II for 800 hrivnya (currency of that time, counted in the weight of silver). Biberstein family owned the castle till 1551 and they put a lot of effort into its medieval development. In 1551, Biberstein line died off with its last member Kryštof of Biberstein and in 1558, the castle was sold to Bedøich of Redern. The Redern era took only 63 years but even in such a short time period, the castle was significantly improved and extended. Kryštof of Redern, the last castle owner of this line, joined the uprising of lords (rebellion against the monarchy) - as a consequence of this rebellion, he lost the castle and died in exile in 1642. The castle was bought by Albrecht of Wallenstein on June 21, 1621 – as a reward, Albrecht later got the title “The Duke od Frýdlant” and he gradually built a large domain. His estates – with its center in Jicin town - flourished greatly. The Frýdlant region was called Terra felix – the Happy Country. After Albrecht’s assassination in 1634, the emperor gave Frýdlant to the Gallas house, from the first owner Matyáš Gallas to the last owner, Filip Josef Gallas, who died in 1757. His wife Anna-Marie inherited the castle and after her death in 1759, the domain was owned by the Clam-Gallases, an important aristocratic house active in diplomatic and military circles at the imperial court. They remained until 1945, when Frýdlant became property of the state. The Clam-Gallases gradually filled the castle with their numerous collections. In 1801, they opened the castle to the public – the first one in Central Europe. They lived in the chateau. In 1945, after the WWII finished, the castle was confiscated by the state and now it belongs to the National Heritage Institute. You can visit the castle and join one of its six guided tours, opened to the public from April to October. Occasionally, there are special tours, like with the guides wearing historical costumes, or baking in the castle´s kitchen. In the meantime, you can assemble this paper model. However, before you start, you might be interested in the architectural history of this spacious complex which will help you understand what you are building.
