Giacomo Casanova spent his final years as librarian at the Duchcov castle (then Dux), writing his memoirs in the château's rooms between 1785 and his death in 1798. The castle, a Baroque complex rebuilt from an earlier fortress, houses an exhibition dedicated to Casanova alongside displays on regional history and art.
Duchcov has about 8,800 residents and lies in the Teplice District of the Ústí nad Labem Region. The surrounding area bears marks of brown coal mining that shaped the North Bohemian landscape during the 20th century, though mining activity near Duchcov itself has largely ceased.
