Bílá Lhota Castle, Renaissance castle in South Bohemia, Czech Republic
Bílá Lhota Castle is a four-winged stone structure with distinctive white exterior walls that incorporate Renaissance design elements throughout. The building combines architectural details from different periods and opens rooms where nobility once lived and worked.
The castle's first written record dates to the late 1400s, when its location near major trade routes gave it strategic importance. This position helped it remain a significant property across the following centuries.
The castle displays period furniture and artworks that show how Czech nobility lived across different eras. Visitors can see in the rooms how residents arranged their daily life and valued certain objects.
The castle is open to visitors from April through October with guided tours available through the rooms and grounds. Larger groups should arrange visits in advance to ensure the tour can be properly organized.
The castle's name means White Lhota, derived from a special limestone-based coating on the exterior walls that has lasted for centuries. This distinctive white finish makes the building recognizable from a distance.
