Libochovice Castle, a fortified Baroque château in Libochovice, Czech Republic, was built in 1601 under the direction of architect Antonio della Porta. One of the country's most significant early Baroque castles, it exemplifies the architectural ambitions of its era with its distinctive style and craftsmanship. Today state-owned and protected as a national cultural monument, the castle welcomes visitors through guided tours and displays notable collections of tapestries, glass, and porcelain. The castle also holds historical significance as the birthplace of Jan Evangelista Purkyně, the major Czech scientist and scholar born there in 1787.
