Castles prepare for final week in tourist season

Numerous castles and chateaux around the country are preparing for the final week of the tourist season, holding special programmes on the occasion of Czechoslovak Independence Day on October 28 and next weekend. The majority of state-owned castles and grounds open only on weekends in November and close from December until April. Castles planning for special events at the close of the season include Točník, Velhartice and numerous additional sites. Žleby, for example, will host a theatrical programme, including historical sword fighting, for visiting audiences.
