Landscape architecture on an ambitious scale makes the Vlašim château park notable beyond what the town's modest size might suggest. The English-style park, laid out from the late 18th century across 74 hectares, follows the Blanice river valley and includes rock formations, a Chinese pavilion, and plantings of exotic tree species. The park functions as both a public green space and a venue for the regional agency for nature and landscape conservation headquartered here.
About 12,200 people live in Vlašim, which sits on the Blanice river in the Central Bohemian Region, roughly 80 kilometres southeast of Prague. The château itself has undergone varied use and repair, and its current state mixes restored and unreconstructed sections.
