Dux (German name) is now Duchcov in the Czech Republic, near the German border. Casanova was librarian there for 13 years until his death in 1798. This is a portrait of Casanova in the library...

Spitzweg-Bookworm

Not really. That's The Bookworm by German painter Carl Spitzweg (1850).

The castle was rebuilt in the 19th century in a Neoclassical style. The Waldstein family who owned it left in 1921 and, at present, the chateau is state-owned and open to visitors. This is a rear view of the castle and gardens.
