Ivanovice na Hané Castle, Renaissance castle in Ivanovice na Hané, Czechia.

Ivanovice na Hané Castle is a four-storey, four-winged late Renaissance chateau enclosing a rectangular courtyard, with two-storey arcades preserved on the inner sides of three wings. It was rebuilt from a water fortress by builder Antonín Lorenc Paris of Brno and stonemason Jan Focum of Boskovice, and its walls still hold a cannonball from the Swedish siege of 1643.

Jindřich Kropáč z Nevědomí chose Ivanovice as the seat of the Orlov estate after 1503 and built a late Gothic water fortress here. In 1608 Jan Bukůvka z Bukůvky had it rebuilt as a Renaissance castle; in 1643 Swedish troops failed to take it, and a cannonball remains lodged in the wall.

The castle's main halls were decorated with family trees of the Bukůvka family, who rebuilt the fortress into a Renaissance residence in 1608. A local legend tells of Jan Václav Přepyský, who after his wedding in the 18th century shut himself in the castle and was found murdered there in 1765.

The castle now forms part of the Bioveta national enterprise complex and is only partially repaired. It is not open for interior visits, so visitors view the four-winged exterior and courtyard arcades from public areas. The surrounding park, laid out in the second quarter of the 19th century, allows a walk around the grounds.

The site had been fortified for several hundred years before this building was constructed, with a water fortress standing here since medieval times. This long history of settlement on the same spot reveals how the land continued to serve as a symbol of power, just in different architectural styles.
