Borotín Chateau, Baroque château in Borotín, Czech Republic.
Borotín Château is a baroque manor house featuring characteristic 18th-century elements such as curved rooflines, ornate facades, and light-colored walls. The building contains multiple rooms with decorated ceilings and sits within a rural landscape surrounded by open grounds.
The manor was completed in 1753 during the height of baroque architecture in Bohemian territories. It was built when local nobility modernized their residences to display their power and wealth through impressive buildings.
The château's name is tied to the village of Borotín in the Blansko district, and the building has served as a care home since its 2017 reopening. Its operation was entrusted to the association Za Sluncem, and the house holds up to 64 residents in 35 apartments.
The château now serves as a care home with 35 apartments and a capacity of 64 residents, run by the Za Sluncem association since its 2017 opening. It is not a museum, so visits are not a standard offering; the building stands in the village of Borotín in the Blansko district, and parking spaces created on municipal land serve both the home and the public.
The chateau appeared in the 1991 film Tankový prapor and later in scenes from two parts of the series Četnické humoresky. The building has been protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic.
