Štěnovice Castle

Štěnovice Castle is a baroque residence in the Czech countryside featuring the architectural hallmarks typical of that style, surrounded by landscaped grounds. The structure sits in a gently rolling landscape and displays the balanced proportions and decorative elements characteristic of 18th-century noble houses.

The castle was built in the 1720s during a period when Czech nobility were modernizing their estates in the baroque style. It represents one of many similar projects that brought this architectural fashion to the countryside during that era.

The name reflects the local village, and the building itself shows how baroque style shaped the way nobility wanted to live and display their status. The decorated grounds reveal what mattered most to the owners of that era: order, beauty, and visual display of power.

The property is located south of Plzen and can be reached easily by car or public transport. Visitors will find that the grounds are best explored during dry weather when the park paths are easily accessible.

The park features baroque sculptures that were deliberately placed throughout the gardens as part of the original design scheme. These artworks served as visual focal points that shaped how the owner experienced and displayed the property.
