Nové Hrady Castle, Rococo château in Nové Hrady, Czech Republic

Nové Hrady Castle is a Rococo château built in 1773–1777 on a slope below the site of an older Gothic castle, whose stone was reused in its construction. Its two-storey main building has a mansard roof, a projecting central section with a rounded arch and curved pediment, and rows of tall rectangular windows; a terrace with a balustrade and a wide entrance ramp links the stepped side wings.

Count Jan Antonín Harbuval Chamaré had the Rococo castle built between 1773 and 1777 on a slope below the old Gothic castle called Boží dům, whose stone was reused. The count designed its basic form himself, while Tyrolean architect Josef Jäger drew the plans modeled on French summer residences. A late Baroque granary was added in 1779.

The castle's name, Nové Hrady, means "New Castle," distinguishing it from the older Gothic castle whose remains stand uphill. Since 2005 the main Rococo hall has hosted wedding ceremonies, and the former coach house and stables are rented for social and private events.

The grounds hold several separate gardens: a large rose garden, an Italian garden with cascades, a white garden, an herb garden, a fish pond and a green maze. A natural amphitheatre with 150 seats in the upper parkán garden hosts baroque evenings during the Smetana Litomyšl opera festival. The sandstone Stations of the Cross lead uphill through the English park to the remains of the Gothic castle.

The Baroque granary behind the castle, built in 1779, holds a museum of historical mopeds and small motorcycles called Motory a pedály, assembled by collector Jan Čejchan and described as the largest collection of its kind in private hands in the Czech Republic.
