Fort Rymice, Fortified house and cultural monument in Rymice, Czech Republic.

Fort Rymice is a two-storey Renaissance fortified house built on the site of a 14th-century noble residence, close to the village green of Rymice in the Kroměříž District. Its most famous owner was Albrecht von Wallenstein. Today it belongs to the Zlín Region and is managed by the Museum of the Kroměříž Region, with former farm buildings including a granary and an administrative building nearby.

A predecessor fortress on this site was documented in 1374 and destroyed during the Bohemian-Hungarian wars in the second half of the 15th century. The Podstatský family of Prusinice then built the present Renaissance residence as a comfortable seat rather than a defensive stronghold. Its best-known owner was Albrecht von Wallenstein, who acquired it through his 1609 marriage to Lukrécie Nekšová. In 1841 the Wrbna family installed a sugar factory on the second floor, which closed in 1858.

The name Rymice appears in records from 1374, when the earlier stronghold on this site is first mentioned. The present two-storey Renaissance building was raised by the Podstatští of Prusinovic as a comfortable residence rather than a fortress. In 1841 the Wrbna family installed a sugar refinery on the second floor, the Gräflich von Stockau & Wrbna'sche Zuckerfabrik in Rimnitz, which closed in 1858.

The site is best explored on foot, as it sits within a small rural village where walking is the main way to get around. Visitors can view the exterior and structure from the village paths that surround it.

During the Napoleonic Wars the fortress served as a branch of the military field hospital at Hradisko, where French soldiers were treated. In 1841 the Wrbna family set up a sugar-beet manufactory on the second floor, the Gräflich von Stockau & Wrbna'sche Zuckerfabrik in Rimnitz, which closed in 1858 because it could not keep up with rival mills using newer technology.
