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

Skalice Castle is a one-storey, four-sided building in Skalice near Znojmo, given an Empire-style appearance in the 1831–1839 rebuild by Count František Daun. Its northern wing incorporates the rebuilt Chapel of St. Vitus, and a three-hectare park surrounds it.

A fortress founded in the first half of the 16th century by the Jankovský family of Vlašim probably stood on the site; the castle is first documented in manorial accounts from 1633–1657. After the last male Jankovský died in 1736, a dispute over the inheritance was settled in 1755 by Empress Maria Theresa in favour of the Daun family. Count František Daun had it rebuilt in 1831–1839 into its present Empire-style form, incorporating a rebuilt St. Vitus chapel into the north wing.

The castle park, open to the public, covers three hectares and holds a stone fountain with a sculpture of two dolphins from the second half of the 18th century. Its dominant feature is a large London plane tree measuring 35 metres.

The castle itself is closed to the public, as it houses a home for seniors; only the 3-hectare castle park is freely accessible. Its dominant feature is a large London plane tree reaching 35 metres. Visitors should plan to view the grounds and park rather than the interiors, since none of the original furnishings survived.
