Milotice Castle, Baroque castle in Milotice, Czech Republic.
Milotice Castle is a baroque fortress in the town of Milotice, Czech Republic, built with four wings arranged around a central courtyard and topped with corner towers on two levels. Formal gardens spread around the structure, and a Renaissance moat still surrounds the entire complex.
The site started as a medieval fortress before undergoing major changes in 1648 when provincial governor Gabriel Serényi bought it and launched extensive renovations. These rebuilding efforts transformed it into the baroque structure visitors see today.
The castle's name comes from the town of Milotice where it stands as a local landmark. Walking through the rooms today, you notice the baroque details and furnishings that show how the noble families lived across different periods.
This castle opens to visitors during the warmer months and offers guided tours in various languages that cover both the interior rooms and the gardens outside. Wear comfortable shoes since you will walk through multiple floors and outdoor spaces while exploring the full property.
Inside is a preserved private study of Countess Antoinette Seilern, decorated with original canvas wallpaper dating from the early 1900s. This room reveals personal details from a specific period and gives insight into how one noblewoman actually lived.
