Konopiště Castle, two kilometres south of Benešov, was the private residence of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria until his assassination in Sarajevo in June 1914 triggered the First World War. The archduke amassed an enormous collection of hunting trophies, armour, and art within the château's walls, much of which remains on display. His rose garden and game park on the castle grounds drew from his passion for both horticulture and hunting, and the estate preserves these collections largely intact.
Around 16,300 people live in Benešov, a town in the Central Bohemian Region about 40 kilometres southeast of Prague on the D1 motorway corridor. The town centre holds Masarykovo náměstí with its mix of 18th- and 19th-century facades, a regional museum, and a Gothic church partially destroyed and rebuilt after Hussite and later Thirty Years' War campaigns.
