Rokytnice Castle, Renaissance château in Rokytnice, Czech Republic.

Rokytnice Castle is a Baroque chateau in Rokytnice, Přerov District, eastern Moravia, not Bohemia. The Jesuits had the damaged Renaissance building demolished and replaced with a new Baroque residence; today it houses a retirement home and a home for people with disabilities.

A medieval fortress here was first recorded in 1385, when Rudolf of Frankštát bought it; it was probably destroyed in the Hussite wars. The lords of Ludanice, who acquired Rokytnice in 1466, built a Renaissance castle on the site. After a fire in 1582 damaged village and castle, owner Jáchym Haugvic of Biskupice had it rebuilt, finishing in 1591. The Jesuits, who bought it in 1663, demolished it and erected a Baroque residence.

The castle has served as a social care facility since 1945, when it was confiscated from the Eichhoff family under the Beneš decrees. Today it houses a retirement home and a home for people with disabilities, run by the Olomouc Region.

The castle now houses a retirement home and a home for people with disabilities, run by the Olomouc Region, so the interiors are not open to tourists. Visitors see the exterior from the village of Rokytnice in the Přerov district; the building stands on the site of the medieval fortress.

The castle stands in Rokytnice in the Přerov District, in Moravia rather than Bohemia. Since 1945 it has housed social care institutions, and today it is a retirement home and a home for people with disabilities, founded by the Olomouc Region.
