Velké Dvorce, Baroque château in Velké Dvorce, Czech Republic

Description

Velké Dvorce is a four-wing Baroque château with a representative main section on its southern side featuring preserved barrel vaults and decorative columns throughout. The structure displays typical 17th-century architectural details with symmetrical layouts and classical proportions.

History

The château was built in the second half of the 17th century as a manor residence for a wealthy family. It served as a military hospital during both World Wars and later functioned as an administrative building before returning to private hands after 1989.

Culture

The château park holds a statue of Saint John Nepomuk, reflecting local religious traditions. The interior showcases craftsmanship from different periods through its varied staircases.

Practical

The château is currently closed to visitors as it undergoes major renovation work following its recent private acquisition. Check ahead for any updates regarding public access, as the property's status may change in the future.

Did you know?

After the socialist era, the property was returned to descendants of the Counts of Kolowrat before being sold again for restoration purposes. This return to the original noble family represented a significant moment in the château's post-1989 history.
