Těchobuz Castle, Baroque château in Těchobuz, Czech Republic.
Těchobuz Castle is a Baroque château in the village of Těchobuz, Pelhřimov District. It was built at the start of the 16th century on the remains of a medieval fortress and received its Baroque form in a reconstruction between 1786 and 1798 under Baroness Marie Anna Rindsmailová. The building is protected as a cultural monument and stands along the NS Mozaika krajiny and NS Po pamětihodnostech Těchobuze trails.
A fortress likely stood here by the 14th century, when Těchobuz was first recorded in 1352; its decayed remains were used to build a manor at the start of the 16th century. Baroness Marie Anna Rindsmailová had that manor rebuilt in Baroque style in 1786–1798, and from 1798 it belonged to the glassmaking Hofmann family.
The village is first recorded in 1352, and the castle stands on the site of a fortress whose first known owner was Kuneš z Těchobuzi, purkrabí in Počátky. From 1798 the estate belonged to the Hofmann glassmaking family, and the last owners were the Weissové z Tessebachu.
The manor sits in a small village with around 70 residents in a quiet rural area between two regional towns. Since this is a private property in a remote location, it is best to plan your visit ahead by checking access arrangements.
The estate includes a Neoclassical granary from the early 1800s that shows how the manor managed its agricultural production. Nearby lie the remains of glassworks that operated in this area until around 1830, revealing the region's industrial past.
