Zámek Diváky, Baroque château in Diváky, Czech Republic.

Zámek Diváky is a baroque château in the Czech village of Diváky featuring ornamental facades with curved lines, large windows, and decorative elements. The building displays typical characteristics of 18th-century Czech architecture with rich detailing along walls and rooflines.

The château was built in the 1740s as a residence for the Brno Jesuits, with construction completed in 1747 to a design by František Antonín Grimm. It stayed with the order until its dissolution in 1773, then passed to a religious fund and changed owners often. In 1889 it was bought by the Lewetz barons, who held it until the Second World War; during the war it housed a Hitlerjugend training centre. Nationalised after 1945, it served as a school until 1998, and in 2006 the South Moravian Region sold it to private owners.

The château's name comes from the village of Diváky, where it stands in the western part of the built-up area. Its use changed with its owners: after the Jesuits it served as a school, first an agricultural apprenticeship school and later a secondary vocational school for electrical engineering until 1998.

The château is not open to the public; it was sold by the South Moravian Region to private owners in 2006 and has since been renovated. Visitors can only view the exterior, including the U-shaped plan with its cour d'honneur and the triangular gables of the side wings, from the village street.
