Zahořany, Baroque château in Zahořany, Křešice, Czech Republic

Zahořany is a château in the village of Zahořany near Křešice, Litoměřice District, with an irregular plan built around four wings enclosing a courtyard. The south façade has two portals, the older dated 1708 and bearing the name of Jiří Benedikt d'Ogilvy. The north wing opens onto the courtyard through a two-storey arcade, and a three-storey square tower stands at its northeast corner.

The original structure dates from the late medieval period and was significantly rebuilt and expanded during the 17th century. The baroque redesign was part of the widespread architectural changes that transformed many estates across the region at that time.

The château's name comes from the village of Zahořany near Křešice in the Litoměřice district. After 1945 the building was used by the Křemín collective farm, housing flats, offices, a pub, a gym and storage space. Since 2023 a new owner has had permanent residence there.

The château is in poor condition and has been officially classified as endangered. Visitors should know that access may be limited or unavailable, and it is wise to check current conditions before planning a visit.

The south wing's facade holds two portals: a rectangular one dated 1708 bearing the name of builder Jiří Benedikt d'Ogilvy, and a later one from the 1730s–1740s. In the southwest corner, a semicircular portal with a blind balustrade carries the alliance coat of arms of d'Ogilvy and his wife.
