Uherčice Castle

Uherčice Castle is a Renaissance-style château in Bohemia featuring five courtyards with different functions. The complex combines residential areas with agricultural facilities and is surrounded by walled gardens and extensive parkland.

The castle originated during the Renaissance and later received classical additions that shaped its appearance. After decades of neglect and use as a collective farm, the site underwent major restoration to return it to its former condition.

The castle stands today as a monument central to local identity, showing how Renaissance architecture merged with classical elements added later. Visitors can see how the different areas of the complex reflect various purposes and tell the story of noble life across several centuries.

The site offers parking and bicycle racks for visitors who want to explore the entire complex. There are also food and refreshment facilities on-site so visitors are cared for during their stay.

The castle bears traces of its time as a military base, which led to unusual architectural details. This hidden history makes the site a fascinating example of how historic buildings preserve different eras layered upon one another.
