Hvožďany, Fortified house and cultural monument in Hvožďany, Czech Republic.

Hvožďany is a partly preserved fortified house in the village of the same name in the Příbram District, built in the first half of the 16th century. Its residential wing forms the east side of a U-shaped farmyard open to the southwest, and a granite plaque with the name and coats of arms of Bohuslav Vyduna of Obytec is visible on the south facade.

The fortified house was built in the first half of the 16th century, replacing an older stronghold abandoned after 1500; it is first mentioned in 1542. In 1664 Arnošt Václav Vitanovský sold Hvožďany for 28,000 Rhenish guilders to Count Karel Leopold Caretto-Millesimo, and two years later Aleš Ferdinand Vratislav of Mitrovice bought it, attaching it to the Lnáře estate. The building then served only farm purposes, was converted into flats in 1949–1950, and was extensively renovated in 2020–2022.

The stronghold passed to the Lnáře estate in 1664 and then served only farm purposes; in 1949–1950 the main building was converted into flats. A granite plaque on the south facade bears the name and coats of arms of Bohuslav Vyduna of Obytec, who acquired Hvožďany in the 1490s. Since the 2020–2022 reconstruction the interiors house a new regional museum.

The fortified house stands within a U-shaped farmyard open to the southwest, with the residential building as its east wing. A granite plaque with the name and coats of arms of Bohuslav Vyduna of Obytec is visible on the south facade. The building was converted into flats in 1949–1950 and reconstructed in 2020–2022, when a regional museum was installed inside.

The granite plaque on the south facade bears the name and coats of arms of Bohuslav Vyduna of Obytec, who acquired Hvožďany in the 1490s and still resided there in 1525. The building was converted into flats in 1949–1950, and between 2020 and 2022 a large reconstruction fitted out its interiors for a new regional museum.
