Horšovský Týn Castle, Renaissance castle in Město, Czech Republic

Horšovský Týn is a castle in the historic centre of the town of the same name, partly on a rocky spur above cellars cut into the rock. It has a large landscape park on the north and west and moats on the north and east. The core is a Gothic castle rebuilt in the Renaissance, with a chapel and corner towers.

After a major fire in 1547, John the Younger of Lobkowitz transformed the original Gothic structure into a Renaissance castle during reconstruction. This renovation shaped the property's appearance for centuries to come.

The castle's name comes from the town, whose German name Bischofteinitz refers to the Prague bishops who founded the castle around 1258. The former bishop's palace hall is borne by a massive central pillar, and the Renaissance arcades of the south wing frame an inner courtyard.

The castle is managed by the National Heritage Institute and is among the most visited heritage sites in the Czech Republic. The grounds include a landscape park on the north and west sides and moats on the north and east. The extensive cellars are carved into the rock beneath the castle.

Maximilian von Trauttmansdorff bought the confiscated Horšovský Týn estate on 30 March 1622; the German source gives 1623. The family kept the castle until expropriation in 1945, and from 1656 their Teinitz holdings also included Hostouň and Puclice.
