Chateau in Rychvald, Renaissance chateau in Rychvald, Czech Republic

The Chateau in Rychvald, also called Starý Dvůr, is a four-winged two-storey building founded in the 16th century in Renaissance style and rebuilt mainly in the second half of the 19th century. It stands in the town of Rychvald in the Karviná district, a few kilometres from Ostrava, and is privately owned.

Burian Barský z Baště bought Rychvald in 1573, and his son Bernard had a large two-storey chateau built here in 1575–1577. The Barský family held it until 1630, after which Tlukové z Tošanovic, Haugvicové z Biskupic, Vrbnové, Freudenthalové and Gašínové z Rosenbergu owned it. In the second half of the 19th century Eugen Larisch-Mönnich and his daughter Franziska had it rebuilt; the Starhembergs held it from 1903 to 1945.

The chateau is also called Starý Dvůr (Old Court). In 1869 Eugen Larisch-Mönnich had a Košice–Bohumín railway stop, Reichwaldau Schloß, set up in front of it. Georg Adam von Starhemberg's daughter Friederike was born here in 1936.

The chateau stands in Rychvald, a few kilometres from Ostrava, and is in private ownership. A general reconstruction of the building and its grounds was carried out between 2010 and 2016, so it is no longer a restoration site; access depends on the owner.

Eugen Larisch-Mönnich pushed through a railway stop of the Košice–Bohumín line in front of the chateau in 1869, named Reichwaldau Schloß. The last noble owner, Georg Adam von Starhemberg, had a daughter, Friederike, born at the chateau in 1936.
