Komařice, Cultural monument and château in Komařice, Czech Republic.

Komařice is a two-storey Renaissance château with two wings and a prismatic tower added to the north side of the east wing. A semicircular portal dated 1566, carved with rustication, ornamental reliefs and the alliance coat of arms of Jiří Kořenský and Kristýna of Dráchov, leads into a vaulted passage and the courtyard. Above the portal is a 16th-century stucco miniature of the Crucifixion; the façades keep remnants of rustication and sgraffito, and the courtyard arcades on Tuscan columns have been walled up since the 19th century.

The oldest seat in Komařice was a 14th-century farmstead and later a fortress; Beneš z Komařic is recorded there in 1346. In 1555 Kristýna z Dráchova and her husband Jiří Kořenský z Terešova had the old fortress rebuilt as a Renaissance château. After two fires, Ctibor Kořenský sold the estate in 1623 to the Vyšebrod Monastery, which held it for over 300 years until 1926.

The château chapel of St Bernard was consecrated on 9 November 1653 by abbot Jiří Wendschuch of Vyšebrod Monastery, which owned the estate for over 300 years. The entrance portal bears the alliance coat of arms of Jiří Kořenský of Terešov and Kristýna of Dráchov with the year 1566.

The château stands in the village of Komařice, southeast of České Budějovice in the South Bohemian Region. Access to the courtyard is through the Renaissance semicircular portal bearing the date 1566 and the alliance coat of arms of Jiří Kořenský and Kristýna of Dráchov. The building is privately owned and was still under reconstruction in early 2020, so visits depend on the owner's permission.

The Renaissance portal bears the date 1566 and the alliance coat of arms of Jiří Kořenský and Kristýna of Dráchov. Above it, a niche holds a 16th-century stucco miniature of the Crucifixion. The courtyard arcades on Tuscan columns were walled up from the 19th century.
