Čimelice Castle, Baroque château in Čimelice, Czech Republic

Čimelice Castle is a stone building with balanced facades and classical details such as large windows and ornamental cornices across its exterior. The grounds are shaped by an English-style park that extends around the main building with diverse trees and vegetation.

A fortress of the Vrábský family stood on the site from 1483 and passed to the Deyms of Střítež in 1543. In 1685 Jan Jindřich of Bissingen bought the estate at auction, and his son Karel Bohumil had a new Baroque château built in 1728–1730 to plans by Marcantonio Canevalle, turning the old fortress into a granary. A fire struck in 1767, after which turrets were added to the side wings; the Schwarzenbergs held the estate from 1842 until 1948.

The Bissingen coat of arms of 1728 on the main facade recalls the family that had the Baroque castle built. The Vrábský family held the fortress on the site from 1483, and the Schwarzenbergs owned the estate from 1842 until it was confiscated in 1948. The castle later housed a film secondary school.

The castle is situated near a railway line running between Prague and České Budějovice, with a local station providing easy train access. The I/4 road also connects to the site, making it reachable by car from the surrounding region.

The castle's north wing incorporates the walls of a medieval fortress first recorded in 1483, when it belonged to the Vrábský family. After the Baroque château was built in 1728–1730, the old fortress was converted into a granary. A coat of arms of Karel Gottlieb von Bissingen dated 1728 survives on the main façade.
