Rantířov Castle

Rantířov Castle, Renaissance Revival château in Rantířov, Czech Republic.

Rantířov Castle is a three-winged Neo-Renaissance building on the edge of Rantířov. Its south wing has a prominent balcony on the east side, and in its northeast part stands a Renaissance-style tower with a bell and clock. A lower-roofed northeast wing is attached, farm buildings adjoin the west side, and a granary with painted sundial stands by the entrance gate.

A farmstead stood here before 1488, when the Jihlava reeve Prokop of Pelhřimov bequeathed it to his wife Markéta; in 1495 she gave it to the Dominican monastery of the Holy Cross. The Dominicans held it until 1781, after which owners changed often. In 1868 František Müller bought the farm and in 1873 had it rebuilt as a Neo-Renaissance château to August Prokop's design.

The estate began as a farmyard linked to the Jihlava Dominican monastery, which used it as a refuge when its own buildings burned in the 16th century. In 1686 the Dominicans had to promise not to build a brewery or tavern in the village; when they broke the promise, the brewery equipment was destroyed.

The castle stands at the edge of Rantířov by the road toward Vyskytná nad Jihlavou, in the Jihlava district. It is privately owned and not open to the public, so visits are limited to viewing the exterior. From the village square, look toward the entrance gate on the south side of the grounds.

The castle is not open to the public, but the sýpka by the entrance gate toward the village square bears painted sundials. The grounds also hold a large park, revitalised along with the building after 1989, when the estate was returned to the Šašek family.
