Křimice Castle, Empire style château in Křimice, Czech Republic.

Křimice Castle is a manor house in Empire style located in the village of Křimice in the Czech Republic. The structure displays symmetrical proportions with classical elements in its facades and interior spaces.

A fortress from the mid-13th century preceded the castle; in 1732 František Václav z Vrtby had it rebuilt as a Baroque château, probably designed by František Maxmilián Kaňka. In 1811–1812 František Josef z Vrtby commissioned an Empire-style reconstruction with a Neoclassical façade by František Ignác Prée. The Lobkowicz family owned it from 1830 until 1948.

The Vrtby family kept Křimice until 1830, when it passed by inheritance to Prince Jan Karel of Lobkowicz; the Lobkowicz held it until 1948, when it was expropriated and nationalised. In 1994 it was returned to the family in restitution.

Visitors can find the castle easily from the village center, with Zámecká Street leading to the main entrance. Guided tours provide information about the construction and development of the property.

After 1948 the castle was nationalised and Škoda Plzeň converted it into a dormitory, gutting the original interiors. The furniture was taken to Kozel, and a diamond diadem that had belonged to Eleonore Beaufort-Spontin ended up in the Bečov nad Teplou inventory, returning there on long-term loan in 2017.
