Zahrádky Castle

Zahrádky Castle is an Empire style château located in the village of Zahrádky in the Czech Republic. The building displays symmetrical proportions and classical design elements typical of early 19th century noble residences.

The castle was originally constructed in the 16th century and underwent several renovation phases across the centuries. In the early 19th century it received its current Empire style facade that defines the building today.

The castle served as a seat of local nobility for centuries and continues to shape the village's identity. Residents and visitors recognize it as a landmark that once anchored the cultural and social life of the surrounding area.

The building is currently not open to the public as it requires extensive restoration work and remains closed to visitors. You can view the exterior from the surrounding area while respecting that the grounds are private property.

Following a fire in 2003, the castle became the subject of a university research project testing innovative approaches to preserve historical structures. Plans for possible conversion into a conference center show how older buildings can serve new purposes.
