Třebívlice: Castle history, Ulrika and wine

If you are looking for a hotel in Třebívlice, consider which aspect of the town’s history you would like to shape your stay: the castle, the memory of Ulrika von Levetzow, sacred buildings, or wine. These themes represent different focuses for a trip and give you a practical way to coordinate the length of your stay with event dates.

Castle and architectural history

Třebívlice Castle and its English park are an important part of the historic town center. Its present-day Neoclassical form was completed in 1837. The square is home to a Baroque chapel with a statue of Saint John of Nepomuk dating from 1731. The Baroque rectory bears a Lobkowicz coat of arms and dates from 1787.

The Church of St. Wenceslas brings together different periods of construction: it was originally Gothic and was remodeled in the Baroque style by around 1720. Its tower is the work of the Italian master builder P. Versa, who came from Litoměřice, and dates from 1695. Next to the church stands the granary, the oldest surviving building in Třebívlice. To explore the town’s architectural history, it is worth distinguishing between the details: the church has Gothic origins and was remodeled later, while the castle’s present-day Neoclassical form was completed at a later date. The granary, in turn, is notable for its age.

Ulrika von Levetzow and the Třebívlice estate

The permanent exhibition about Ulrika von Levetzow is housed in the former home of the castle gardener. It focuses on the Baroness’s life and her relationship with J. W. Goethe. Ulrika spent almost her entire life on the Třebívlice estate. This places the connection to Goethe in the context of Ulrika’s long life on the estate; the exhibition links a personal story with the town’s local history.

Events and seasonal travel

Events may also play a role in choosing your travel dates. The Václavská pouť is held annually in Třebívlice, and the Třebívlické kulturní léto is becoming a tradition. If you plan to travel for an event, check the specific dates in advance. This will let you plan your trip around an actual event date.

During the tourist season, you can take the Středohorský motoráček (T4) to Třebívlice. Check the seasonal timetable before setting off. This is a separate point to consider when planning, alongside event dates and the town’s cultural attractions.

Wine in Třebívlice

According to its own account, Johann W Winery builds on the centuries-old tradition of Litoměřice wines. Its wine shop in Třebívlice also offers guided wine tastings. For travelers interested in wine, this is a different focus from the castle and local history: here, the guided tasting takes center stage. When planning, you can decide whether you would like to devote your time mainly to historic buildings, the story of Ulrika von Levetzow, or wine.
