Description

Doudleby nad Orlicí is a Renaissance chateau located in the village of the same name in the Rychnov nad Kněžnou district in the Hradec Králové region. It is unique for its carpet-like sgraffito, which covers not only the outer walls but also the courtyard walls and chimneys. For its entire history (except during the communist regime) it belonged to the Buben of Litice family.
