Tupadly Castle

Tupadly Castle displays baroque revival architecture with ornate facades, decorative plasterwork, a prominent central tower, and Renaissance windows that reflect its transformation from a medieval fortress into an elegant noble residence.

Originally constructed as a watchtower in the late 14th century, the castle was rebuilt in Renaissance style in 1538, converted to early Baroque between 1636-1640, and restored after a devastating fire in 1865.

Designated as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic in 1966, the castle represents centuries of architectural evolution and serves as an important example of Central European noble residential architecture.

Located approximately 13 kilometers southeast of Kutná Hora at coordinates 49°52'10.036"N, 15°24'5.281"E, the castle is currently closed to public visits but can be viewed from the exterior.

The castle features a rare combination of sgrafitto stucco decoration on some facades while others display baroque red and white color schemes, creating a distinctive architectural contrast within the same building.
