Červené Janovice Castle, Baroque château in Červené Janovice, Czech Republic.

Červené Janovice Castle is an early Baroque château built in 1650–1660 for Litmír Viduna Obytecký, replacing a Renaissance fortress. It has a four-wing layout around an enclosed courtyard with a fountain; the Italian stucco artist Carlo Brentani, working at nearby Český Šternberk at the same time, took part in the rebuilding.

A 14th-century fortified site of the Janovický family of Soutice was rebuilt as a Renaissance fortress around 1600 by the Kolovrat family. In 1650–1660 Litmír Viduna Obytecký had it converted into an early Baroque château with four wings and a courtyard, work attributed to Italian stuccoist Carlo Brentani. The Kutná Hora town bought the estate in 1724.

The castle's name was simply Janovice until the attribute Červené (Red) was added after 1715. Václav Budovec z Budova, one of the 27 Czech lords executed in 1621, was born here in 1551. The Obytecký family, who had the castle built, owned it for three generations until 1715.

The structure can be viewed from outside but is currently undergoing restoration work and may not be fully accessible to visitors. It is advisable to check current access conditions before visiting to avoid disappointment.

The castle was originally called simply Janovice; the attribute "Červené" (Red) was added only after 1715. The name thus records the change of owners around that year, not the colour of the building.
