Castle Poběžovice, Gothic and Baroque castle in Poběžovice, Czech Republic
Castle Poběžovice is a castle in Poběžovice combining Gothic and Baroque structural elements and decorative details throughout its buildings. A park surrounds the grounds and completes the ensemble.
The fortress was built in 1359 and underwent major reconstruction in 1675, transforming from a medieval defensive structure into a residential castle. This shift marked the transition from military purposes to aristocratic living.
The place takes its name from the original noble family that shaped it, and you can see how both architectural styles blend together as you walk through. Different rooms and facades show features from distinct periods working side by side.
The castle is located in western Bohemia and can be reached by train or car, with good connections to the local transport network. Visitors should be aware that parts of the site are undergoing ongoing restoration.
The site displays an uncommon architectural development where medieval Gothic elements remain visibly alongside later Baroque features throughout the building. This layering of styles is rarely seen in the region.
