Kňovice Castle, Château in Kňovice, Czech Republic.

Kňovice Castle stands in the northeast corner of its grounds by the main entrance to the courtyard, beside road No. 119 between Dobříš and Sedlčany. The two-storey building has a pale beige facade, a steep gabled roof and a front gable with a stepped, white-edged outline. Two white-framed upper windows sit above two larger windows with decorative hood moldings, and small rectangular openings near the base.

A stone house was built on the former fortress site in the first quarter of the 17th century by Adam Felix Vojkovský, husband of Ludmila, daughter of pond builder Jakub Krčín. After the Battle of White Mountain he went into exile, and a contract of 7 January 1628 gave Kňovice to Pavel Michna of Vacínov. Anna Marie Viktorie Malovcová had the seat rebuilt in Baroque form, and Antonín Wang's descendants gave it a Neo-Gothic form in the second half of the 19th century.

The village takes its name from the castle, and the estate church of St. Joseph, an octagonal chapel with a prismatic tower and pyramidal spire, was built as a public chapel at the entrance between 1729 and 1731. The castle itself is privately owned and closed to the public, so the chapel and the park wall with its two baroque gates are what passers-by can see.

The castle is privately owned and not open to the public, so visits are limited to views from outside. The grounds lie in the centre of Kňovice near the village green, with the northern side bordered by road no. 119 between Dobříš and Sedlčany. The main entrance to the courtyard is in the northeast corner, opposite the Chapel of St. Joseph.

The castle is privately owned and not open to the public; after 1948 it was confiscated from the Maixner family and housed the local national committee. The western part of the grounds served the local collective farm.
