Bolechovice Castle, Medieval château in Bolechovice, Czech Republic

Bolechovice Castle is a late-Baroque château on the eastern edge of the village, a one-storey longitudinal building with eight window axes and a central risalit topped by a triangular pediment. The complex includes the Chapel of St John of Nepomuk, a farmyard, stables, a granary, a distillery in a former 1780 brewery, and a pheasantry with two ponds. Above the entrance portal is a cartouche with the coat of arms of Thomas Popovský of Šarfenbach.

The castle was first mentioned in documents from 1381 when a Marquis held the title of Bolechovice. In 1775, Jan Karvínský of Karvína rebuilt the structure on its older foundations, transforming it into the residence that stands today.

Above the entrance portal is a cartouche with the coat of arms of Thomas Popovský of Šarfenbach, who bought Bolechovice in 1704 and built a small residence here in 1716. The castle chapel, added at the gate in 1775, belongs to the Roman Catholic parish of Sedlčany and holds services only about once a year.

The castle is privately owned and not open to the public, so visits are limited to exterior views from the surrounding area. The Chapel of St. John of Nepomuk, part of the protected complex, belongs to the town of Sedlec-Prčice and holds services only about once a year. The Souček family has been repairing the building gradually since 1975.

The castle's chapel of St. John of Nepomuk, added in 1775, holds a ceiling fresco depicting God appearing to Moses in the burning bush. Mass is held there only about once a year, and the chapel belongs to the town of Sedlec-Prčice rather than to the castle's private owners.
