SMALL ZOO

The park was founded around 1725 by František Adam Trauttmansdorff. At the end of the 18th century, the original French garden was transformed and expanded into a natural landscape park by Henry Rottenhan. The current owners have taken proper care of the park, restored the path system, renovated and adapted the park to its present form, as you can see it when visiting the castle.

Bear breeding in Konopiště has a long tradition. The first bears were acquired in the middle of the 19th century by the Lobkowitz family and Archduke Franz Ferdinand d'Este continued the tradition.

Opposite the Stará Myslivna restaurant with its famous venison and near the Konopiště Chateau you can pet the spotted fallow deer, Sika deer and mouflon in the built-in game preserve.
