Troubky-Zdislavice: Castle History and Walking Routes

The topics range from Marie Ebner-Eschenbach’s biographical connection to the castle to a viewpoint and several described walking destinations. If you are looking for a hotel for a trip to Troubky-Zdislavice, these different points of interest may help you choose your destination.

Castle History and Marie Ebner-Eschenbach

Zdislavice Castle was built at the end of the 17th century on the site of a stone fortress; in the 1840s, Count Dubský renovated the castle. The predecessor building and the later renovation therefore represent different historical stages. Marie Ebner-Eschenbach was born at Zdislavice Castle on September 13, 1830. Her remains were transferred to Zdislavice and buried in the Dubský family crypt. Her birthplace and later burial place mark different stages of her biography and connect the history of the building with that of a specific person. Those interested in the town’s past will find both the castle’s development and a biographical connection here.

Regional tourism information accessed in August 2026 described the castle as privately owned and not open to the public. If you are considering a visit to the castle, check access before your trip.

Historic Buildings in Troubky-Zdislavice and Zdislavice

The Baroque bell tower in Troubky-Zdislavice is a two-storey masonry building with a square floor plan and a dome. It was built around 1800 and has been protected as a cultural monument since 1958. The Chapel of the Virgin Mary in Zdislavice dates from the first half of the 18th century and stands in a prominent location at a crossroads south of the town. The two buildings have different defining features: the bell tower stands out for its floor plan, number of storeys, and dome, while the chapel is distinguished by its age and location.

Walking Routes and Views

The Kamenný stůl viewpoint is about 1 km from Zdislavice Castle. The path leads gently uphill through fields. At Kamenný stůl, there are two benches and a stone table; from there, you can see the Chřiby hills with the Brdo observation tower, as well as the Zdenička observation tower. The approximate distance and gentle ascent provide a sense of the route, which leads to the viewpoint. As trail conditions may change, check the path before setting out.

The Kaštanová walk leads from the castle in Zdislavice along a road and a green waymarked trail toward Honětice and the Chapel of the Virgin Mary. Check the trail markings on site to help you find your way. Unlike the route to Kamenný stůl, this walk focuses on the route to the chapel.

A short detour of about 100 m leads to a spring with benches and the Chapel of St. Florian. The destinations described are therefore different: at Kamenný stůl, the viewpoint and field path take center stage; on the Kaštanová walk, the Chapel of the Virgin Mary; and on the short detour, the spring and the Chapel of St. Florian. When choosing a route, consider whether you would rather make a viewpoint or a building your destination.
