Rtišovice Castle, Baroque château in Rtišovice, Czech Republic

Rtišovice Castle is a rectangular Baroque structure topped with a hipped roof and small tower, surrounded by historical farm buildings that form a unified ensemble. The main building and its outhouses create a cohesive architectural group typical of rural estates from its era.

A fortress at Rtišovice is first documented around 1491, when Bohuslav z Němčic sold it to Jošt Fremdár z Pruku. Jan Netvorský z Březí built a Baroque château on the site of the decayed fortress, dated 1738 on the portal. Around 1846 Baron z Puteany rebuilt it in its present form and set up a sugar factory, distillery and brewery. Count Clam Martinic bought the estate in 1864.

The castle chapel in the east wing is dedicated to Saint John of Nepomuk and was adapted in 1877. The estate is privately owned and closed to the public, so the chapel and the former brewery ruin beside it can only be seen from outside.

The château is privately owned and not open to the public. It stands in Rtišovice, a village near Milín in the Příbram District. A 2022 reconstruction was under way, so the grounds and buildings cannot be visited.

During its industrial period, the property operated a sugar factory, distillery, and brewery, showing how it adapted to economic changes over time. This industrial phase reveals the practical flexibility of historic estates when faced with new commercial opportunities.
