Malá Skála Castle

Malá Skála Castle is an Art Nouveau château in the town of Malá Skála featuring curved lines and nature-inspired ornamental details. The structure combines stone construction with large windows and interior spaces defined by organic forms and decorative moldings.

A medieval fortress occupied this site but was transformed into a modern château in the late 1800s. The renovation retained the original foundation while incorporating the new design elements of the period.

The castle's name refers to the small town where it stands. Visitors can observe how Art Nouveau shaped daily life around the turn of the 20th century through decorative door handles, painted ceilings, and wall paneling throughout the rooms.

Access to the castle is seasonal, available only during warmer months when the building opens to visitors. Guided tours are conducted in local languages and focus on the architecture and regional heritage.

Each room displays different Art Nouveau patterns on its floor tiles, showcasing geometric designs from that era. This collection of tilework is an overlooked detail that many visitors miss.
