Skrytín, Château in Dobkovice, Czech Republic.
Skrytín is a château in Dobkovice currently undergoing reconstruction. The building displays 19th-century architectural features with stonework and classical proportions, while ongoing work renews various structural elements and the building's interior.
The first written mention of the Skrytín settlement dates from 1383. The château itself was built at the end of the 19th century as a summer residence for the industrialist Ludwig Wolfrum. In the second half of the 20th century it served as a recreation facility for the state enterprise Konstruktiva, and after 1989 it changed owners several times and fell into disrepair.
The name Skrytín appears in German sources as Skritin or Reichberg, and the hamlet was first recorded in 1383. In the second half of the 20th century the château served as a holiday facility for the state enterprise Konstruktiva, which shaped its later use before 1989.
Skrytín is reached on foot: a yellow-marked hiking trail branches off the blue trail south of Dobkovice at the Pod Skrytínem junction and rejoins the blue trail at Pod Bradlem. From the Dobkovice railway stop the walk is about 3 km. The building itself is a private reconstruction site, so the trail is the way to approach it.
