Nemilkov Castle was a surprise. It even has a mysterious hiding place where the owners hid their son.

The restoration of Nemilkov Castle changed the lives of its new owners

Thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Kaplan, Nemilkov Castle in the Klatovy region is literally rising from the ashes. After purchasing it in 2016, they left Prague, sold everything, and invested their savings into saving the monument.

Mr. and Mrs. Mencl

Václav and Dobroslava Mencl – husband and wife, historians and preservationists – spent the last years of their lives at Nemilkov Castle, where they left a lasting mark. Their works, such as Folk Architecture in Czechoslovakia and Czech Castles, continue to shape our care for historical monuments to this day. In 2024, a memorial plaque was ceremoniously unveiled at the castle in their honor.
