Chateau Favorit, Baroque Revival château in Šindelová, Czech Republic

Château Favorit is a hunting lodge in the Krušné hory between Šindelová and Jindřichovice, built in 1904–1906 to a design by Munich architect Emanuel Seidl, replacing an earlier Rococo château of 1769. The main building has three wings enclosing a court of honour, with a pond beside it; the complex comprises six structures, including a chapel and a gamekeeper's house.

A hunting enclosure was recorded in the Nostitz inventory of the Sokolov estate in 1737. František Antonín Nostitz had a Rococo lodge built here in 1769 for his wife Marie Alžběta, born Kolovrat. The old lodge was almost demolished in 1899 and replaced in 1904–1906 by a new complex designed by Munich architect Emanuel Seidl, built by Christi & Rädler of Sokolov and finished in 1914.

The chapel near the château is dedicated to St. Teresa of Ávila, a 16th-century Spanish Carmelite, in its present form from 1913. Regional literature and tourist guides often misname it after St. Hubert, a confusion dating from the normalization years when hunters used the site and a St. Hubert figure appears in its stained glass.

The château is currently in a deteriorating state and will be visible from outside when passing through the area. Visitors should note that the building is not accessible and can only be viewed from the outside, as urgent restoration work is required.

Near the chapel stands a massive stone cross erected in 1912 by Ervín Nostic in memory of his mother, Countess Terezie Nosticová, née Thun-Hohenstein. The chapel itself is dedicated to St. Teresa of Ávila, a 16th-century Spanish Carmelite, though regional literature and tourist guides often misname it after St. Hubert.
