Sychrov (German : Sichrow) is a municipality and village in Liberec District in the Liberec Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 200 inhabitants. It is known for the Sychrov Castle.

Sychrov is located about 14 kilometres (9 mi) south of Liberec. It lies in the Jičín Uplands. The Mohelka River flows through the municipality. The village of Sychrov is urbanistically fused with neighbouring Radimovice.
The first written mention of Sychrov (under the name Svojkov) is from 1367. A fort was first documented in the 15th century. In the 17th century, the village disappeared and the fort was replaced by a small Baroque castle named Sychrov, which was built in 1690–1693. The newly established village got its name after the castle. The Sychrov Castle was reconstructed in the Empire style and expanded in 1834. [2] [3]
