Kácov Castle

Kácov Castle stands as a well-preserved baroque architectural monument featuring symmetrical facades and elaborate decorative elements that exemplify 18th-century aristocratic residential design in the Central Bohemian Region.

The castle was constructed between 1726 and 1733 for Duchess Anna Maria Franziska of Saxe-Lauenburg on the site of an older medieval fortress, representing centuries of regional political and social development along the Sázava River.

Designated as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic, the castle serves as a venue for exhibitions, concerts, and educational programs that preserve and promote local heritage while fostering community identity through traditional celebrations.

Located at coordinates 49.776933, 15.028222 in Kácov town, the castle offers limited public access through organized events and prior appointments, with parking facilities available and proximity to Prague approximately 80 kilometers away.

The castle was designed with baroque features by architect Václav Špaček and uniquely combines defensive medieval foundations with elegant 18th-century residential architecture, creating a distinctive architectural fusion rarely seen in regional monuments.
