Tachov Castle, Neoclassical castle in Tachov, Czech Republic.

Tachov Castle is a two-storey Baroque château rebuilt in Neoclassical style after a fire in 1770, standing on the site of a Gothic royal castle founded around the mid-13th century. The castle complex is protected as a cultural monument and has been open to the public since 2014, with guided tours and a gallery.

The site goes back to a medieval fortress that once served as a defensive stronghold in the region. In the early 19th century, the building was extensively rebuilt and given its current neoclassical look.

The castle has been open to the public since 2014, with regular guided tours of the interiors. A gallery is part of the castle complex, and the name Tachov comes from the town that grew around the medieval royal castle.

The castle sits in the center of Tachov and is easy to reach on foot from the town center. Visiting outside the main summer season tends to be quieter and allows more time to look around at a relaxed pace.

The castle was rebuilt in the Neoclassical style between 1787 and 1809 for the Windischgrätz family, after a lightning strike set the great tower alight in 1770 and the fire spread through the whole château. The Losy family, who had converted the old castle into a two-storey Baroque château, died out in 1781.
