Ostrov Castle, Neoclassical castle in Ostrov, Czech Republic.

The castle displays geometric shapes and symmetrical design elements across its facade, incorporating classical Greek and Roman architectural principles in its structure.

Initially constructed in the 15th century under Count Schlick, the castle underwent substantial reconstruction by the Saxe-Lauenburg and Baden-Baden families into a baroque palace.

The castle houses municipal offices, a library, a gallery, and a museum, serving as a central point for local administration and cultural activities.

Visitors can explore the castle grounds, examine the architectural features, and participate in regular exhibitions that showcase regional history and art.

The White Tower, added between 1673 and 1679 by architect Abraham Leutner, stands as a separate summer residence within the castle complex.
