Břeclav Castle, Renaissance château in Břeclav, Czech Republic

The castle features both Renaissance and Romantic architectural elements, with a prominent position at Zámecké náměstí 3 in the center of Břeclav.

Originally constructed in 1046 as a border fortification under Duke Bretislav I, the castle transformed from a Romanesque fortress into a Renaissance residence by the Zierotin family.

The structure represents the architectural evolution of South Moravian defensive buildings, combining military functionality with residential purposes through different periods.

Located 50 kilometers southeast of Brno, the castle has been designated as inactive since April 2019 and remains closed to regular visitors.

The castle's strategic location near the Austrian border made it an essential checkpoint for medieval trade routes between Moravia and Austria.
