Kokořín Castle lies about 10 kilometers northeast of Mělník. The castle was built after 1320. In 1426 it was conquered by the Hussite troops and then alternated the owners. He was deserted from 1544. In 1894 Václav Špaček purchased the ruins and fixed the castle in Neo-Gothic style. After the Second World War, he was nationalized. In 2001 it became a national monument. In 2006, it was returned to the original owners. It is accessible during the tourist season.
