Castle and monastery in Pacov, Baroque castle and monastery in Pacov, Czech Republic

The castle and monastery complex features a rectangular layout with an oval-shaped St Wenceslas Church and a thin dome-topped tower adjoining the nave.

Originally built as a Gothic castle in 1316, the structure underwent transformation into a monastery for White Friars in 1660 and later became a manor house in 1787.

The complex currently houses the municipal office and a museum, preserving historical artifacts and documents that represent the heritage of Pacov region.

Located on Náměstí Svobody square, the monument remains accessible to visitors who can explore both the castle grounds and the adjacent St Wenceslas Church.

The building reflects the work of architects Martin Wittwer and Kilián Ignaz Dientzenhofer, who incorporated distinctive Baroque elements during its reconstruction.
