Konojedy Castle, Cultural monument in Konojedy, Czech Republic.

Konojedy Castle is a four-winged, two-story building arranged around a square courtyard, entered through a vaulted passage in the west wing. Its facade features a central projecting bay topped by a triangular pediment, and the adjacent Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary is connected to the castle.

The first written mention of the Konojedy fortress dates to 1451, when Běta of Konojedy sold the village to Ctibor of Tloskov. In the mid-16th century Vilém of Konojedy had the old fortress rebuilt as a Renaissance castle. After 1746 the castle was converted into a Servite monastery, dissolved in 1786, and later rebuilt as a castle.

The convent building was dedicated to the seven founders of the Servite order, including Bonfilius Monaldi and Alexis Falconieri. After the monastery's dissolution in 1786, its interior furnishings were transferred to the Litoměřice residence, and Raymund Weigner, the last Czech-Moravian Servite provincial, stayed on as chaplain from 17 October 1786 and became Konojedy's first parish priest in 1789.

The four-winged building surrounds a square courtyard entered through a vaulted passage in the west wing, built at the end of the 18th century. The castle and the Church of the Assumption were used by the army in the second half of the 20th century and fell into disrepair; a private owner began a large reconstruction in 2007, with the new roof, facade and windows finished in 2014.

The convent building was erected in honour of the seven founders of the Servite order, and its interior furnishings were moved to the Litoměřice residence after the monastery was dissolved in 1786. The church, damaged by blasting at a nearby quarry, was bought from the church for one symbolic koruna and repaired together with the castle for 32 million korun, 90% covered by a Norwegian Funds grant.
