Bystřice nad Úhlavou, Gothic Revival château and cultural monument in Bystřice nad Úhlavou, Czech Republic.

The northern facade of the château displays Neo-Gothic architectural elements with a prominent entrance tower and detailed stonework throughout the structure.

The site transformed from a fortress in 1339 to a Renaissance château in the mid-16th century, later undergoing major Neo-Gothic reconstruction between 1848 and 1852.

The château gained recognition when Kryštof Harrant z Polžic and Herman Cernín z Chudenic started their Holy Land pilgrimage from here in 1598.

Visitors can reach the monument through regular train and bus services, with accommodation options available in nearby Zelená Lhota starting at 750 CZK per night.

The château functioned as both a military hospital and an institute for mentally handicapped children during different periods after World War II.
