Čakovický castle themselves does not alert by nothing special, quietly is huddled next to the huge buildings of the former Čakovice sugar refinery, which began operating in 1850, and the people in this suburb of Prague, just passing through the historic buildings in pink with a fountain in front may not even notice.

Art in the bowels of the castle

Local people but know much about their castle. But probably not that much, when and by whom was built, but rather the fact that today there can be pleasantly relax while their children are on the same site teaches piano, guitar, singing and drawing – Čakovice castle is used as a folk art school. To, mainly children so much hated, violin go there. Not cross the field and moreover in the rain, as was usual in the stories of little Peter Bajza of Poláček famous book "It was five of us."

Opinions on the latest reconstruction of the castle are different. Some people say that the reconstruction especially of the interior part was particularly inappropriately. The town filled the contrary intention praises and relies on the fact that the manor house is not just an empty building designed for tourists, but mainly because it live due to art school.
