Casanova culture at a Czech castle

Posted on Sun. 29/06/2008 22:00. Categories: Czech Republic | Sightseeing

Tread in the footsteps of the world's greatest lover with a visit to Duchcov Castle in the Czech Republic.

This year marks the 210th anniversary of the renowned womaniser's death, who spent the last 13 years of life as an exile working as a librarian at the castle.

After dying at the age of 73, Casanova was buried in the graveyard of Duchov church in 1798, but his body was later exhumed and reburied in an unknown location.

As well as the tombstone, Casanova fans can visit his rooms at the castle and study various manuscripts he left there, including letters, books, poems and mathematical treatises.

In addition, the Duchcov estate also hosts an exhibition of historical furniture belonging to the Prague Museum of Applied Arts and an exposition of Czech Baroque oil paintings from the National Gallery.

The town is just two hours from the capital.
