Restoration of property

Shortly after the fall of the Communist government in Czechoslovakia at the end of 1989, William Lobkowicz moved to the country of his ancestors to claim the family's former lands and castles.

Lobkowicz has since focused on the restoration, maintenance, and upkeep of the castles now under his ownership. Additional financing has been obtained by converting some of the family properties to hotels and restaurants.
