Šťáhlavy Castle, Château in Šťáhlavy, Czech Republic.

Šťáhlavy Castle is a late Renaissance château in the northern part of Šťáhlavy, about 2 km southeast of Starý Plzenec. Its south façade carries a volute gable and sgraffito decoration; lower Baroque wings with Baroque gables face the former farmyard. A second, Baroque château building stands by a walled courtyard whose gate keeps a rusticated portal with the Kokořov coat of arms.

The village of Šťáhlavy is first documented in 1239. In the early 17th century the Kokořov family had a Renaissance château and the Chapel of St Adalbert built here. The Černín family bought the estate in 1710, and Heřman Jakub Černín made it his main seat; a south wing was added in 1782. After the Černín line died out in 1816 the Valdštejn family took over, using the building for officials' housing and farming until confiscation in 1945.

The gate of the small courtyard keeps a rusticated portal bearing the coats of arms of the Kokořov family, who had the Renaissance château and the neighbouring chapel built in the early 17th century. The château is a cultural monument since 1963.

The site is currently undergoing restoration work, so visitors should verify which areas are accessible before arriving. It is wise to check local conditions ahead of time and allow adequate time for exploring the grounds.
