Zámek Návarov, Baroque château in Návarov, Czech Republic.
Zámek Návarov is a Baroque château in the village of Návarov, part of Zlatá Olešnice in the Jablonec nad Nisou district. Marie Angela Nounkelová had it built in 1664–1666, and it soon resembled an official's house rather than a noble residence. A chapel of the Ascension was once part of the building, and remains of a brewery stand north of it.
Návarov Castle was built between 1664 and 1666 in Baroque style by Marie Angela Nounkelová, using stone from Návarov Castle, demolished in 1644 on the order of the Prague governor. It soon resembled an administrative building rather than a noble residence. In 1775 it was damaged during a peasant revolt under Baron Ehrenburk, and it was repaired after a fire in 1827.
The château's chapel was dedicated to the Ascension of Christ (Nanebevstoupení Páně) and formed part of the building complex. The château itself takes its name from the nearby castle of Návarov, demolished in 1644, whose stone was reused for its construction.
The château stands in the village of Návarov, part of Zlatá Olešnice in the Jablonec nad Nisou district. The remains of the brewery lie just north of the building. Since the 1990s the château has served as a guesthouse, so the interiors are seen as part of a stay rather than a standard sightseeing tour.
The brewery whose remains stand north of the château is the only part of the estate the sources document; no hunting lodge, park or gazebo is recorded. The château itself was built from stone taken from Návarov Castle, demolished in 1644 on the order of the Prague governor.
