Štemplovec Castle, Baroque château in Štemplovec, Czech Republic.

Štemplovec Castle is a single-wing, two-storey plastered brick building on a rectangular plan, set on a hill in the middle of a park. Its saddle roof is hipped and covered with slate. A central two-storey risalit with three window axes projects from both the entrance and garden façades; on the ground floor it has a portico carried by four pillars, and it is topped by a triangular pediment with a semicircular window.

A fortress stood here in 1564, when it belonged to the Bruntálští z Vrbna family. In the second half of the 17th century the Neuhausens built a Baroque château on its site. Around the start of the 19th century Karel Traugott Skrbenský z Hříště had it rebuilt as an Empire-style residence. In 1911 the Opava sugar refinery company bought it, and in 1929 architect Leopold Bauer adapted it.

The castle's name comes from the village of Štemplovec in the Opava district, where it stands on a hill in a park. Since 1964 the castle, park, boundary wall and the statues of St John of Nepomuk and St Florian have been listed as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic. The park also holds a timber granary moved here in the 1980s from a vanished farmstead in Kravaře-Kouty.

The castle stands on a hill in the middle of a 5.65-hectare landscape park at 295 m elevation, entered through a gate on the building's axis. A stone perimeter wall one to three metres high encloses the grounds, with farm buildings against it on the southwest. The Baroque statues of St John of Nepomuk and St Florian stand outside the wall, opposite house No. 11.

The timber granary in the park is not original to the site: it is a late 18th-century building moved here in the 1980s from the vanished farmstead at Kravaře-Kouty, no. 154/49. It stands in the north-eastern part of the park, a single-storey log structure on a masonry base with a shingled saddle roof.
