Nová Lhota, Cultural monument and château in Nová Lhota, Czech Republic.

Nová Lhota is a château in the village of Nová Lhota near Kluky, southeast of Kutná Hora in the Central Bohemian Region. Its predecessor was a Renaissance fortress founded at the end of the 16th century; around 1700 the Sedlec monastery rebuilt it as a Baroque château. It is a one-storey rectangular building with a hipped roof and a white façade with red bands, standing within a farmyard entered through the remains of a pillared gate.

Mikuláš Salava z Lípy made Nová Lhota the centre of his own estate in 1590 and founded a Renaissance fortress decorated with sgraffito; it is first documented in 1624, when he bequeathed it to his daughter Kateřina Anna. Around 1700 the Sedlec monastery rebuilt the fortress as a Baroque château used for summer stays. After the monastery was abolished in 1783, the building was converted into a granary and workers' flats, and the Schwarzenbergs, owners from 1819 to 1925, used it the same way.

The name Nová Lhota is shared with the village, and the estate served the Sedlec monastery as a summer residence around 1700. Wall paintings from before the mid-18th century allegorically depict villages owned by the monastery, Nová Lhota among them.

The estate sits in a hilly area and is reachable on foot via paths leading from the village. Visitors should expect variable weather and wear appropriate footwear, as the approach crosses fields and meadows.

The château stands inside a working farmyard entered through the remains of a pillared gate; the former stables on the west side were partly converted into flats, with a barn to the north and a granary to the east. Only the château, barn, granary and the wall with gate fragments are protected.
