Líšno Castle, Cultural monument in Líšno, Czech Republic

Líšno Castle is a three-wing, two-storey building around a walled courtyard with a gate. To the right of the gate is a walled late-Gothic portal, and the side wings end in neo-Renaissance stepped gable arches. The central tract has a ground-floor arcade corridor vaulted in three bays, and a tower stands at the north-west corner of the east wing.

Beneš of Dubá founded the castle, first named Leštno, around 1367; it was besieged by Hussite troops in 1420 and taken by King George of Poděbrady's army in 1467. Rebuilt in late Gothic style around 1478 and again in 1536, it decayed during the Thirty Years' War. From 1781 it belonged to the Servite monastery in Prague until its dissolution in 1785.

The castle's name comes from the village, originally called Leštno; the German source gives Lešno. The gate wall still holds a late-Gothic portal with the Šternberk coat of arms, a detail to look for in the courtyard. Since 2015 the building and park have been privately owned and can be rented for company or social events.

Access to the property may be limited while restoration work continues. It helps to check conditions in advance and allow enough time to explore the different parts of the site.

The castle appeared in the second episode of the TV series 30 Cases of Major Zeman (1974, directed by Jiří Sequens) and in the films V podstatě jsme normální (1981) and Zdeněk Troška's comedy Strašidla. A late Gothic sedile portal with the Šternberk coat of arms survives in the courtyard wall.
