Kanice Castle, Medieval castle in Kanice, Czech Republic.

Kanice Castle stands in the Domažlice district of western Bohemia, on the site of a Gothic fortress first recorded in 1382. The Kaničtí z Čachrova rebuilt the fortress as a château in the second half of the 17th century, giving it a Renaissance-Baroque form. The ruin is protected as a cultural monument and listed among endangered monuments.

The fortress at Kanice was first documented in 1382. The Kaničtí z Čachrova family held it for 300 years and in the second half of the 17th century rebuilt it as a château; the Černínové, Škodové and Pergerové families followed as owners. After 1945 the Red Cross used it, from 1950 to 1986 it housed a special boarding school, then the army partly damaged it.

The castle's working name is "Depold", after Depold of Rýzmberk, the first documented owner of the fortress. The current owners plan an exhibition called "Smíření" (Reconciliation) on World War II and the expulsion of Germans, during which the then owner Rudolf von Perger died.
