The palace theatre is located in a pavilion at the end of the north wing, together with an unfinished chapel. The theatre, too, remained incomplete for a long time and was inaugurated only in 1851. It hosted performances of amateur actors from the count’s family; Count Rudolf Karel Chotek was also the author of some of the plays. From this period, the richly decorated auditorium, part of the stage machinery and some stage decorations have been preserved. The theatre is accessible as a part of the guided castle tour 300 400
