Fořt Castle, Cultural monument in Fořt, Czech Republic.

Fořt Castle is a neo-Renaissance château in the village of Fořt, part of Černý Důl in the Trutnov District. Its present form is a single-storey late-Baroque building with a mansard roof and a projecting central risalit, standing in a park beside a farmyard. It was rebuilt in 1794 and 1801 for Václav Berger.

Fořt was first mentioned in 1590, when Jan Kryštof of Valdštejn acquired the estate and had a Renaissance residence built here in 1597. In 1622 it passed to Albrecht of Valdštejn, who sold it to Magdalena of Valdštejn; through the marriage of heiress Eliška Lidmila of Valdštejn to Bedřich Leopold Kotulínský it came to the Kotulínský family until 1727, then to four members of the Choryňský of Ledská family. In 1794 the businessman Václav Berger bought it and had it rebuilt in 1794 and 1801 into its present late-Baroque form. In 1886 the factory owner František Kluge of Rudník bought it; it was altered several times in the 20th century and declared a cultural monument in May 1958.

The château's name comes from the village of Fořt, first recorded in 1590 when Jan Kryštof of Valdštejn acquired the estate. After 1945 the building served as a dormitory for an agricultural school in the second half of the 20th century, a use that shaped its present interiors.

The château stands in the centre of a park beside a farmyard in the village of Fořt, near Černý Důl in the Trutnov district. It is a cultural monument and served as a dormitory for an agricultural school in the second half of the 20th century, so the interior is not a museum open to visitors; the one-storey building with its mansard roof and front risalit is seen from the park.

The château's present form comes from rebuilding work commissioned by businessman Václav Berger in 1794 and 1801, which gave it a late-Baroque appearance with a mansard roof. In the second half of the 20th century the building served as a dormitory for an agricultural school.
