Zámek Boskovice, Empire-style château in Boskovice, Czech Republic.

Zámek Boskovice is a four-wing, two-storey Empire-style château built in 1819–1826 on the slope of Sychrov hill at the southern edge of Boskovice. Its square inner courtyard has blind arcades, and the central risalit is topped by a tympanum. The vestibule with Tuscan columns leads to a three-armed staircase with a statue of Psyche.

Franz Joseph von Dietrichstein had the château built from 1819 on the site of a Dominican monastery dissolved in 1784 under Joseph II, which had briefly served as a paint factory. The monastery was demolished and its material reused; the church's rear part became the castle chapel. The Mensdorff-Pouilly family acquired the estate in 1856, lost it after 1948 and recovered it in 1991.

The large hall, spanning two floors, has its original 1830 chequered floor and is used as a concert hall. The library holds over 11,000 volumes and a copper celestial globe from the 17th century, with the starry sky shown through heraldic symbols. A Rococo children's theatre, a gift from Queen Victoria, is also on display.

The location is accessible to visitors and offers guided tours through the main rooms and gardens. Comfortable shoes are recommended since the hillside setting and garden grounds require some walking.

The copper celestial globe in the library charts the night sky through heraldic symbols rather than constellations, and the library itself holds over 11,000 volumes with inlaid furniture from the mid-17th century. A Rococo children's theatre, given by Queen Victoria, also stands in the château.
