Kozel Castle, Château in Šťáhlavy, Czech Republic.
Kozel Castle is a château in Šťáhlavy designed with a single-story layout organized around a rectangular courtyard. The complex includes a chapel, riding hall, and stable buildings that complete the castle grounds.
Construction took place between 1784 and 1789 under architect Václav Haberditz, commissioned by Jan Vojtěch of Czernin. The project reflected the tastes of Czech nobility during that era and set the standard for residences of its kind.
The castle displays a blend of architectural styles visible throughout its rooms and exterior that reflect how the noble family who lived here shaped their home. Visitors can see how spaces were arranged and decorated to match the tastes and needs of its residents.
The castle is accessible through guided tours that show the interior rooms and grounds thoroughly. Plan adequate time for your visit and wear comfortable shoes as you explore the layout and surroundings.
The castle stands out as an entirely new construction in classical style rather than a renovation of an older building. This distinction makes it a rare example of its kind in the region during that construction period.
