Červené Poříčí Castle, Renaissance château in Červené Poříčí, Czech Republic
Červené Poříčí Castle is a structure featuring Saxon-Renaissance elements with a Baroque gate located in the Plzeň Region. The building stands on the foundations of a 14th-century fortress and is currently undergoing restoration.
Mikuláš Sic from Drahenice built the castle in 1611 on the ruins of an earlier fortress. It passed into state ownership in 1918 and has since been treated as an important record of the region's building history.
The castle has been a national cultural monument since 2010 and is managed by the National Heritage Institute. In the forecourt building, an exhibition of aristocratic toys opened in 2022; the interiors show ceiling frescoes, stucco work, a sculpture collection and original tiled stoves.
The castle is open to the public during the tourist season; no advance reservation is required. The main tour route runs through the main wing and shows interiors without furniture, focusing on ceiling frescoes, stucco work, a sculpture collection and original tiled stoves. The outbuilding houses an exhibition of aristocratic toys opened in 2022.
The castle's furnishings were removed in 1829, and under the Habsburgs it served only as the estate administration. A collection of aristocratic toys opened in the forecourt building in 2022, and from 2025 the orangery is being restored, including a Baroque flowerbed found by archaeologists.
