Čejkovice Castle, Renaissance château in Čejkovice, Czech Republic

Čejkovice Castle is a fortified house in Čejkovice featuring Gothic foundations, Renaissance architecture, and a Baroque wing added during the 18th century. The building combines these styles and shows the architectural changes across multiple periods.

The original Gothic fortress was founded by the Knights Templar in the 13th century and later developed into a Renaissance castle under different noble families. This transformation shows how the use and significance of the place changed with new owners.

The castle cellars are the surviving Templar wine cellars, mentioned in records from 1248 and preserved beneath the later fortress and château. They connect the building to the wine-growing tradition of Čejkovice and the Hodonín region, where the cellars are now part of the hotel and restaurant facilities.

The castle stands in Templářská Street in Čejkovice, on a small rise above the church. It now serves as a hotel with a restaurant and a congress centre, so the interiors are accessible mainly as a guest or event visitor. The Templar wine cellars survive beneath the building.

The castle cellars are the surviving Templar wine cellars, mentioned alongside the commandery that stood here from 1248 until 1308. The order was dissolved on 22 March 1312, and the abandoned commandery became the base of the later fortress. The square tower foundations are the oldest standing part of the building.
