Skrýšov Castle, Baroque château in Skrýšov, Svatý Jan, Czech Republic

Skrýšov Castle is a two-storey Baroque château with a rectangular plan and a mansard roof with two brick dormers, its long axis running east to west. The south front holds the main entrance, while the north facade faces the farmyard. The worn ochre plaster shows lighter patches, and the ground floor has some arched windows.

The village of Skrýšov was first recorded in 1219 with Arkleb of Skrýšov; in the 15th century it belonged to the Rožmberk estate, and around 1600 to the Rožmberk fishmaster Jakub Krčín of Jelčany. Norbert Kfelíř of Zakšov built the Baroque château in 1762 on the site of an earlier fortress. In 1805 it passed to the Lobkovic family, who altered the interiors and laid out the garden after 1843 and held it until 1926.

The name Skrýšov comes from the village first recorded in 1219 with Arkleb of Skrýšov. The château is private and not normally open; twice a year the owner, actor Karel Roden, hosts evening concerts called "Jazz u Rodena". The grounds also hold stables and a herd of Dexter cattle and Cameroon sheep.

The château and its farmyard are private property and not open to the public; the grounds include stables, dexter cattle and Cameroon sheep. The only regular access is at the twice-yearly "Jazz u Rodena" music evenings. The farmyard and village green with two protected small-leaved lindens lie within the protected zone around the building.

The château is not open to the public; twice a year it hosts evening concerts called "Jazz u Rodena". The owner, actor Karel Roden, bought the derelict building in December 2006 to provide facilities for his horse breeding, and also keeps Dexter cattle and Cameroon sheep on the farm.
