Mostov Chateau, Romantic castle in Mostov, Czech Republic.
Mostov Chateau is a Romantic-style castle featuring stone walls, symmetrical facades, and decorative elements across its exterior surfaces and towers. Today it operates as a hotel, offering accommodation while maintaining its original architectural structure throughout the building.
Mostov was first mentioned in 1353, and its fortress in 1520, when Anselm of Štensdorf sold it to the Šlik family. Bedřich Perglar of Perglas rebuilt the fortress as a Baroque château, and Antonín Emanuel Komers later gave it a Romantic form and laid out the castle gardens. After 1945 state farms used it and it fell into neglect.
The village name Mostov is first recorded in 1353, when it belonged to Cheb burghers of the Zoswitzer family; the castle itself grew from a fortress first documented in 1520.
