Welcome to the picturesque village of Krakov near Rakovník, on the edge of the Křivoklátsko Protected Landscape Area, just one hour from Prague. This historically significant region has been shaped and owned by many noble families over the centuries. A local landmark is the Gothic castle ruin Krakovec, built in 1381 (also featured in the Czech film “Long Live Ghosts”) by Jíra of Roztok, royal burgrave and chief builder of King Wenceslas IV. According to scarce records, Jíra of Roztok himself may have resided in the original settlement on the very site we present to you today.

About the property
The estate is a masonry two-story building with a rectangular floor plan measuring 10.8 × 40.7 m, with shorter facades facing north-northwest and south-southeast. The ground floor on the northern side includes vaulted cellars, a residential section, a farm area with stables, and a barn; the upper floor houses a granary. The roof is gabled with a masonry gable on the north side and a hipped section on the south. Documentation confirms the massive roof beams were cut after 1700. All timber was hand-shaped and repaired, bearing carpenter’s marks and authentic details over 300 years old. The building dominates a large garden with mature trees (lime, ash, poplar, walnut) and the remains of an original pond.
Future owners will have the freedom to renovate and adapt the property to their vision – from a family or recreational residence to an inspiring business project. The surrounding land also offers significant potential.
