Castle Lány, Empire style castle in Břeclav, Czech Republic

Castle Lány is a country house built in Empire style in Břeclav, featuring symmetrical facades, decorative columns, and distinctive rooflines. The building reflects the architectural language of the early 1800s and sits as part of a larger estate landscape.

Prince Jan I of Liechtenstein had the hunting lodge built between 1810 and 1812, entrusting the work to Josef Hardtmuth. In the 1860s a deer and fallow-deer enclosure was laid out around it. After 1945 the building stood in a forbidden border zone and was devastated by the army.

The name Lány refers to the hunting lodge's setting in the Soutok game reserve, where the Liechtensteins kept deer and fallow deer from the 1860s. After 1945 the building stood in a forbidden border zone and was devastated by the army; today it is privately owned and closed to the public, though the Břeclavská cyklostezka and NS Pohansko trail pass nearby.

The chateau is privately owned and closed to the public, so visits are limited to viewing its exterior. It can be reached from Břeclav or Lanžhot by several asphalt roads, but motor vehicles need a permit. The Břeclavská cyklostezka and the NS Pohansko trail pass by the site.

The hunting lodge stands in the Soutok game reserve, where the Liechtensteins kept red deer and fallow deer from the 1860s. After 1945 it fell inside the forbidden border zone and was devastated by the army; today it is privately owned and closed to the public.
