Kvasetice Castle, Gothic Revival château in Kvasetice, Czech Republic

Kvasetice Castle is a Gothic Revival château built in 1864 by Prokop Richlý for his son Vilém. The long building has pale weathered walls, dark-framed windows and a reddish-brown tiled roof on its left part, while the central and right sections stand in ruins with exposed red brick, empty window openings and missing roof sections. A square tower with a crenellated top rises on the right, and a band of dark brickwork runs below the roofline.

Prokop Richlý, owner of the Květinov-Kvasetice estate, had the Gothic Revival château built in 1864 for his son Vilém. Vilém inherited Mirošov instead, so the estate passed to his sister Berta, who married JUDr. Jaroslav Schmidt in 1865. Jaroslav's son had it renovated in 1920–1921, adding a greenhouse with a winter garden. Nationalised in 1948, it served as an insemination station with a school and later as staff flats; the new owner Lubomír Dvořák bought the ruin in 2017 and has been reconstructing it since.

The château was built in 1864 for Vilém Richlý but passed to his sister Berta, who married JUDr. Jaroslav Schmidt in 1865; the couple moved to the nearby Květinov château. A greenhouse with a winter garden was added in 1920–1921, and an English park with small structures was laid out around the building.

The estate is currently undergoing restoration work, which means interior access may be limited or restricted at times. Check locally for current conditions and visiting arrangements before making the trip.

The château was bought for 100,000 Kčs at the turn of 1978–1979 by the national enterprise Pleas, which planned a recreation centre but abandoned the plan for lack of funds. The new owner Lubomír Dvořák bought the ruin in 2017 and has since had both wings re-roofed.
