The old castle in Dačice, Renaissance château in Dačice, Czech Republic.

The old castle in Dačice is a two-storey Renaissance building on Krajířova Street, finished with an attic, roof tiles known as prejzy and a crenellated parapet. Its plaster carries sgraffito decoration, renewed in 1940 and again in 1992. Albrecht Krajíř of Krajek and his wife Magdaléna of Vřesovice had it built in 1572–1579.

The Old Castle in Dačice was built between 1572 and 1579 by Albrecht Krajíř of Krajek and his wife Magdaléna of Vřesovice, who moved the noble seat here from the fortress. In 1591 a new castle was built and the old one became the estate administration's seat. In 1939 the town administration moved in, and since 1991 the town hall has again occupied the building.

The building is still in municipal use: it houses the town office, the town museum, a police station and flats. The museum inside presents the castle's own history, and the Renaissance sgraffito on the facade was renewed in 1940 and 1992.

The old castle stands in Krajířova Street in Dačice and houses the municipal office, the town museum, a police station and flats, so visitors enter only the museum areas. The building underwent its last complete renovation in 1992.

The castle's present form dates from a rebuild completed in 1992, when the sgraffito plaster decoration was renewed; an earlier restoration of the same decoration took place in 1940. The two-storey Renaissance building is topped by an attic with battlements and finished with fired clay roof tiles.
