A hunting lodge since the 17th century

Chateau Mcely is situated adjacent to the managed game preserve of Jabkenice, and was originally built as a hunting lodge. Hunting both in Bohemia and abroad has been a passion of its owners ever since.

Here are some photos we have preserved from Mcely's archives, showing both local game and a taste of the many expeditions abroad!
