Třebnice Castle, Baroque château in Třebnice, Czech Republic
Třebnice Castle is a one-storey Baroque château in the village of Třebnice near Sedlčany, rebuilt in Neo-Renaissance style at the end of the 19th century. Its rectangular plan carries a varied hipped roof, and the pale yellow facade is divided by three projecting sections topped with an attic. A clock tower with an onion dome and spire rises at one end, and a park with a pond and orchard belongs to the grounds.
The village belonged to the Rožmberks in 1379 and later passed to Jakub Krčín in 1579; his daughter Kateřina inherited it. In 1659 Jan Černín z Chudenic sold Třebnice to Jan Jiří Radecký z Radče. His grandson Petr Eusebius Radecký built the baroque château on the site of an older fortress around 1760, and in 1766 his son, the future marshal Josef Václav Radecký, was born here. From 1841 Vilém Pistorius founded a sugar factory in the farmyard; the Šembera family held the estate until after 1945, and in 2019 the Uni-builders construction company became owner.
The castle's name comes from the village of Třebnice near Sedlčany, and the Radecký family held it from 1659. Marshal Josef Václav Radecký z Radče, born here in 1766, is the figure most associated with the site. In the second half of the 20th century a forestry school used the building, the chapel was abolished for its needs, and a utilitarian new building was put up in the park in the 1970s.
