Česká Kamenice Chateau, Baroque château in Česká Kamenice, Czech Republic.

Česká Kamenice Chateau is a chateau in Lipová Street, opposite the Church of Saint James the Greater, to which a covered passage connects it. Its wings enclose a courtyard of roughly square shape, entered from the east through a gate bearing the coats of arms of the Vchynský and Trčka z Lípy families. The oldest west wing has a projecting risalit and late Gothic ornaments; the Renaissance south wing, built after 1619, has partly walled-up arcades on both floors facing the courtyard, and two Baroque houses dated 1796 close the north side.

The oldest part of the château was built in 1537–1540 after Bedřich Prokop of Vartenberk bought the Česká Kamenice estate. In 1614 the indebted estate was bought by Radslav Vchynský of Vchynice, whose nephew Vilém had the south wing built after 1619. After Vilém was murdered with Albrecht of Wallenstein in 1634 and his property confiscated, Jan Oktavián Kinský bought Kamenice in 1635, and the château stayed with the Kinský family until nationalisation in 1945.

The château's name comes from the town of Česká Kamenice, and the building stands in Lipová Street opposite the Church of Saint James the Greater, to which a covered passage connects it. The entrance gate from the east carries the coats of arms of the Vchynský and Trčka z Lípy families, a detail to look for before entering the courtyard.

The courtyard is entered from the east through a gate bearing the coats of arms of the Vchynský and Trčka z Lípy families.
