Nové Zámky, Cultural monument in Nesovice, Czech Republic.

Nové Zámky is a two-wing, single-storey Renaissance château on a terrace above the Litava east of Nesovice. Built from 1561 as an unfinished three-wing Italianate castello, it has a prismatic entrance tower, cylindrical corner oriels and swallowtail gables.

Záviš z Víckovic began building the château on a terrace above the Litava in 1561, according to the inscription over the entrance gate, to replace the fortress of Dobročkovice as his seat. After his death in 1569 his successor Přemek sold the unfinished torso in 1575 to Jindřich and Zikmund ze Zástřižl. Swedish troops plundered it in 1645, and in 1798 Alois Josef z Lichtenštejna attached it to the Bučovice estate, after which it decayed.

The château's name, Nové Zámky (New Castle), marks it as a replacement for the old fortress of Dobročkovice. In 1750 the Olomouc scholar Josef Leopold Petrasch, founder of the Societas incognitorum, acquired it and staged antique plays there. Since 2004 it has served as a private residence, opened only on special occasions.

The château stands on a terrace above the right bank of the Litava, on the eastern edge of Nesovice in the Vyškov district, not in eastern Bohemia. It is private and serves as a residence, open to the public only on special occasions since its 2004 sale, so arrange a visit in advance.

The entrance tower was meant to sit at the centre of the whole facade, but the symmetrical western half of the north wing was never built, so the tower now stands at the building's western end. The walls end in crenellations called swallowtails.
