Located in the mid-sized Czech town of the same name (Mlada Boleslav), just a short drive from Prague, the Mlada Boleslav Castle is a monumental medieval castle whose very origin dates back to as early as the second half of the 10h century.

Listed as one of the National Cultural Monument of the Czech Republic since 1958, the castle has been rebuilt many times throughout the centuries, which is also why it features architectural elements from different eras including Gothic and Renaissance.

Considered one of the most iconic landmarks of the town, the Mlada Boleslav Castle has been home to the municipal museum since 1972. The museum is dedicated to the history and culture of the town as well as the whole Mlada Boleslav Region.

Wow such an awesome architectural asset of the country this Mlada Boleslav Castle is. I do personally feel that this is an awesome place for the research point of view of the academician ( Anthropologists ) to know the ancient culture of this region.

Thanks lot @czechglobalhosts for the tip :)

Thanks for sharing such a beautiful historical landmark while reading this post I was continuously thinking about who is using this castle now and your last paragraph elaborate it briefly, and it's a good choice to use this historical landmark as museum of the whole Mlada Boleslav Region.
