Chotýšany, Baroque château in Chotýšany, Czech Republic.

Chotýšany is a baroque château in the village of Chotýšany, built in 1743 next to an older fortress. Its single rectangular block has corners marked by rusticated pilaster strips, and the south façade holds the entrance portal, behind which a hall opens with sets of four rooms on each side. A neo-Gothic north wing with seven rooms off an arcade corridor was added in 1830.

A fortress of the knight Mrákota of Chotýšany stood here from the 13th century. In 1743 Arnošt František I, Count of Vrtby, had the château built beside the old fortress, which was converted into a castle brewery. The Vratislav of Mitrovice family held the estate until 1872, when the last male heir sold it; owners then changed rapidly and neglected the building. The Langhammer family lost it in 1948.

The château's name comes from the village of Chotýšany, where a fortress of the knight Mrákota stood from the 13th century. After 1743 the old fortress was converted into the estate brewery, and the site later housed a local library during the communist era. A protected plane tree (Platanus hispanica) grows in the grounds.

The château is currently closed to visitors as it is protected as a cultural monument undergoing restoration work. The site is located roughly 40 kilometers southeast of Prague and can be viewed from the exterior.

The grounds hold a protected London plane tree (Platanus hispanica), a memorial tree registered as a monument. The château also retains the ground floor of the medieval tower with its brick barrel vault, and a stretch of the old rampart to its north, to which a Renaissance building with barrel-vaulted ground-floor rooms was later attached.
