Historický trh májový – Zámecké slavnosti na zámku Děčín 2009 

Děčín Castle. In the 16th century, the original Romanesque and Gothic Premyslid fortress was rebuilt into a Renaissance castle. After 1669, a Baroque reconstruction was accomplished and a new access road (the Long Ride Lane) built. A Baroque Rose Garden with its Sala Terrena from 1678 also belongs to the castle grounds. Another reconstruction dating from the 1790s gave the castle its contemporary Classicist look. From 1932, the castle was used as military quarters. A stay of the occupying Soviet Army from 1968 to 1991 caused vast damage to the castle. Nowadays, a new extensive reconstruction proceeds. The State District Archive, Tourist Information Centre and exposition of Děčín District Museum are placed in rebuilt parts of the castle. Similarly, the Rose Garden and castle chapel are open to the public.
