Hlízov Castle, Cultural monument in Hlízov, Czech Republic.

Hlízov Castle is a one-storey Baroque château with a rectangular plan and a mansard roof topped by a small tower added in 1764. Its main façade faces the farmyard and features a shallow central projection with the entrance portal. A polygonal presbytery of the Chapel of the Fourteen Holy Helpers projects from the north side, and the adjoining farm buildings have Doric pilasters and blind arcades.

A fortress stood at Hlízov from perhaps the 15th century, but by 1586 and 1601 records mention only its ruins. In 1736 Kateřina Wiederbergerová made the village a separate estate again and had a Baroque château built; construction ran until 1746, when the Chapel of the Fourteen Holy Helpers was finished. Jan Rudolf Chotek, who bought Hlízov in 1791 and attached it to Nové Dvory, had the facades reworked in Empire style to plans by Jan Filip Joendl dated 1818. The Thun-Hohenstein family held it from 1911 until confiscation in 1945.

The château's chapel, completed in 1746, is dedicated to the Fourteen Holy Helpers, and its polygonal presbytery still projects from the north side of the building. From 1791 the château served only the management of the adjoining farm and the housing of officials, so its rooms reflect administrative use rather than noble residence.

The château stands on the eastern side of Hlízov's village green, with the adjoining farmyard, granary, two barns, stables and a gate in the enclosing wall forming the protected complex. The farm buildings carry Doric pilasters and blind arcades on their fronts. The building has served as local administration and housed a post office, a savings bank and flats in the second half of the 20th century.

The small tower on the mansard roof dates from 1764, added two decades after the chapel of the Fourteen Holy Helpers was completed. The chapel's polygonal presbytery still projects from the north side of the building, a detail easy to miss from the village square.
