This chateau was heavily damaged by various armed forces in history, but it has been well renovated recently. Interesting guided tour tells us, how complicated the renovation was and shows us some of the rooms, unfortunately unfurnished.

A quiet, calm place, good views. Nice to walk around half an hour-an hour inside doing nothing. Better round the back.

Decin is one of those Czech cities where German architecture is manifest everywhere. Divided by the River Labe into two distinct quarters, Decin deserves more than a run-of-the-mill visit.
Whether you arrive at Decin Hlavni nadrazi on the west side of the river or at the more convenient Decin Vychod on the east side, you should definitely start your tour by a visit to the impressive Decin Castle. Set on an isolated outcrop of rock that hangs over the Labe, it is undoubtedly the city’s main attraction. From the side of the square that faces the salmon-coloured Church of the Holy Cross, make your way up the stiff 300m-long climb of Dlouha jizda until you come face to face with the baroque entrance gate of Decinsky zamek.
Partly restored, the huge inner courtyard around which the castle’s chambers spread out is a fine example of late Czech baroque flavoured with a distinctive spice of German architectural details. Go inside the Oblastni museum that occupies three of the castle’s chambers and you are in for a superb exhibition of arms and a selection of local baroque art.
Just outside the castle’s courtyard is the chief attraction of the complex. It is a wonderful rose garden laid out on a rock-cut terrace that hangs over the old town. The species of roses that fill in the garden sections are kept in a super show of color and trim. As you walk along the passageways, you’ll come across rows of statuary that unquestionably complement in no small way the beauty of the garden. The spectacular view over the town and the River Labe goes as far as the hillside quarter of Pastyrska stena and beyond.

Sightseeing only with guide, but it's ok. Generally interesting place especially for people who like history and arts.
