This 13th Century castle was a favorite summer getaway and hunting lodge for the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. Reconstructed at the end of the 19th century to serve the needs of Archduke Franz Ferdinand d'Este (whose assassination in Sarajevo sparked Word War I), Konopiste houses collections of historical weapons, period furniture, paintings and tapestries. The tour offers a fascinating glimpse into the regular, day-to-day royal life at the turn of the last century.
