Filipov Castle, Cultural monument and château in Filipov, Czech Republic.

Filipov Castle is a late-Baroque château enlarged in neo-Gothic style, with a prismatic tower, gables and crenellated parapets with small turrets. The walls of the earlier chapel survive in the central section, and the same crenellation motif appears on the farm buildings and former employees' row houses.

The site began as the Šintlochy farmstead, documented since the 14th century; in 1711 the Žďár nad Sázavou monastery added a chapel. Filip Nerius Krakovský of Kolovrat bought it in 1760, renamed it Filipov and converted the chapel into a residence, completed by his son Leopold Vilém. In 1863–1865 Emilie and Benedikt Boleslavský had it rebuilt in English Gothic style for 32,000 gulden.

The village and estate take their name from Filip Nerius Krakovský of Kolovrat, who bought the Šintlochy farm in 1760 and renamed it Filipov. His son Leopold Vilém laid out the park with Baroque sculptures of the allegories of the months; only torsos of four statues survive. The crenellated parapet used on the castle was repeated on the farm buildings and the row of former estate workers' houses.

Visitors should check ahead whether the castle is open for viewing, as accessibility may be limited. It helps to plan ahead and learn about any possible tours or restrictions.

The chapel walls of the former Šintlochy farm chapel survive inside the central section of the château, which was built around them after 1760. Of the baroque sculptures of the months that once decorated the park, only fragments of four statues remain. Since 2008 the building has served as a centre for patients with Alzheimer's disease.
