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

Bystřice nad Úhlavou is a château built on a rock above the Úhlava river, incorporating a medieval fortified house with a trapezoidal core in its northwest corner. A round tower and wings along the north, west and south sides were added in the late Gothic or Renaissance period. The Neo-Gothic remodelling of 1848–1852 reshaped the north façade, and a tower gate with a semicircular roof, dated 1853, leads into a courtyard enclosed by one- and two-storey buildings with Renaissance and Baroque barrel vaults with lunettes.

A fortress stood here from the 14th century, when Sezema z Dolan, Bušek z Bystřice and Boček z Velhartic held it; the first written mention of the tvrz dates from 1444, when Oldřich z Janovic bought half the estate for 388 kop of Prague groschen. The Janovic family added the round tower and the east and south wings in the later 15th century, and the Kocové z Dobrše rebuilt it as a Renaissance château in the mid-16th century. The Hohenzollerns, owners from 1839 to 1945, had it remodelled in Gothic Revival style between 1848 and 1852.

The Kocs of Dobrše held Bystřice until 1720 and rebuilt the fortress as a Renaissance château in the mid-16th century. In 1598 Kryštof Harant of Polžice and Bezdružice and Heřman Černín of Chudenice set out from here on their pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Since 2020 the château has been repaired and now serves as a hotel and wedding venue.

The château stands on a rock above the Úhlavou river at the northern edge of Nýrsko. A tower gate with a rounded roof, built in 1853, leads into the grounds; behind it the wings enclose a central courtyard. Since 2020 the building has been gradually repaired and now serves as a hotel and wedding venue, so visits depend on its operation.

The 1598 journey of Kryštof Harant of Polžice and Bezdružice and Heřman Černín of Chudenice to the Holy Land set out from this castle. After World War II it housed a social care institute for children and youth, and from 2020 it has been gradually repaired and now serves as a hotel and wedding venue.
