Horažďovice Castle, Renaissance château in Horažďovice, Czech Republic.

Horažďovice Castle is a four-winged complex around an inner courtyard, built on a Gothic castle layout with a partly surviving bergfrit in the southeast corner. The northwest corner holds a tower with an arcaded courtyard, and the western wing incorporates a residential tower that originally had a large bay window.

The castle began in the second half of the 13th century as a smaller fortress of the Bavors of Strakonice, who had Horažďovice raised to a town in 1292. Racek of Kocov initiated its conversion into a castle after 1459. The Švihovský family held it for nearly 150 years and rebuilt it in Renaissance style, most extensively under Děpolt Švihovský (1593–1616). Adam of Šternberk bought the estate in 1622; his grandson Václav Vojtěch had it rebuilt in Baroque form with Italian architect Salomini between 1660 and 1692.

The castle's name recalls the fortress built by the Bavorové of Strakonice, who had Horažďovice promoted to a town in 1292. Today the municipal museum, gallery, information centre, library, a ceramics workshop of the Envicentrum Proud and a restaurant occupy the wings, and the Velký and Malý sál host concerts and weddings.

The castle complex lies in the northwest corner of the historic centre, just north of the square, and belongs to the town. The Municipal Museum, gallery, information centre, library, ceramics workshop and a restaurant occupy its wings, so visitors enter through the courtyard rather than a single gate.

The castle's oldest surviving element is a bergfrit, a round tower in the southeast corner of the former castle layout, partly preserved to this day. The small palace that stood opposite it left only a cellar with a barrel vault. The four wings around the inner courtyard are probably of late Gothic origin.
