The town of Roudnice dates from the 12th century. Its most important cultural development began in the 13th century since the Bishops and then Archbishops of Prague had their seat there. Over time, the castle became less important until it was purchased in the 16th century by Vilém Ro?mberk, the first husband of Polyxena Lobkowicz. She then gave it to her son, Vaclav Eusebius, the 2nd Prince Lobkowicz and Chancellor of Bohemia, who reconstructed the castle in the 1630's in high Baroque style. Situated on the Elbe river dominating the town square, this 250-room residence and Ducal seat of the family was designed by the Italian architects Caratti and Della Porta.
