Mirošovice Castle, Renaissance château in Mirošovice, Czech Republic

Mirošovice Castle stands on the southern edge of the village, its building forming the northern wing of a farmyard. The long wing has a pointed Gothic entrance portal in the south facade, a stair tower added around 1600, and fragments of sgraffito plaster from around 1554.

A late Gothic fortress, first mentioned in 1523, replaced an earlier stronghold of unknown location; it was remodelled in Renaissance style twice in the 16th century. Around 1554 the facades received sgraffito plaster and the ground floor was vaulted. The Lobkowicz family carried out a Baroque conversion, mainly of the upper-floor interiors, and added a chapel.

The village and estate were held by the knights Mirošovští z Mirošovic until 1596, when Jan z Mirošic sold them to Zdeslav Kaplíř ze Sulevic for 15,500 kop of Meissen groschen. The castle later passed through the Šternberk, Martinic, Dietrichstein and Lobkowicz families, who attached Mirošovice to Bílina.

The castle stands on the southern edge of Mirošovice, its building forming the northern wing of a farmyard. Hrobčice municipality, which bought it for one koruna in 2020, finished its reconstruction in 2023, and the castle is now open to the public on set dates announced in advance.

The walls display sgraffito decoration, an old technique where patterns are scratched into plaster to reveal color contrasts beneath. This elaborate ornament was a sign of the wealth and artistic taste of the noble residents.
