Review & FAQ:
Konopiste Castle is a three-story chateau located about 50 kilometers from Prague. The chateau is famous because it was the final residence of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne. The archduke's assassination in Sarajevo was a major catalyst that served to trigger World War II. The castle's museum has the bullet that killed the ruler on display and the castle itself is open to the public for touring. Visitors can see the residential rooms of Franz Ferdinand as well as many of his hunting trophies, armor, weapons and more. Tours are only available during the warm months.
