Sychrov Castle is a real castle. Our outing here turned out to be a walk into the royal past. The evening was very chilly but you could easily imagine living here. The composer Antonín Dvořák visited the castle several times (he was a friend of its administrator) and several of his works were inspired by its beauty. The highlight of the evening was an organ concert in the chapel. Several organ pieces were presented with amazing acoustics and two different versions of the 'Ave Maria' were sung by a gifted soprano.
