Vyškov Castle, Renaissance château in Vyškov-Město, Czech Republic.

Vyškov Castle is a former Gothic castle rebuilt as a Renaissance residence for the bishops of Olomouc. Its two-storey wing was remodelled in 1665–1675 and a new wing added in 1680–1682 to designs by architect Giovanni Pietro Tencalla. Three heraldic plaques from after 1470 remain on the tower.

A Gothic castle likely built after the Hussites destroyed the bishop's castle at Melice in 1423, it is first mentioned in 1449. Damaged during the occupation by King Jiří's troops, it was restored after 1470 by Bishop Protasius Černohorský of Boskovice, whose three heraldic plaques remain on the tower. Bishop Karel II of Liechtenstein-Kastelkorn had it rebuilt to its present form by architect Giovanni Pietro Tencalla in two stages: the two-storey wing in 1665–1675 and a new wing in 1680–1682.

The castle has housed museum exhibitions since 1954, and an art gallery opened in the rear building in 1948. The three heraldic panels on the tower date from the rebuilding after 1470 under Bishop Protasius Černohorský z Boskovic.

The castle stands in Vyškov-Město in the South Moravian Region; the two-storey wing rebuilt in 1665–1675 and the new wing of 1680–1682 face the town centre. The rear building has housed museum exhibitions since 1954, so allow time for the displays as well as the courtyard.

Three heraldic panels on the castle tower date from the rebuilding after 1470 ordered by Olomouc bishop Protasius Černohorský of Boskovice, who restored the stronghold damaged when the troops of King Jiří occupied the town. They are among the oldest surviving features of the complex.
