Roztěž Castle, Castle and cultural monument in Roztěž, Czech Republic

Roztěž Castle is a château in the village of Roztěž near Vidice, southwest of Kutná Hora in the Central Bohemian Region. Its core is a two-storey central building with a mansard roof, flanked to the north and south by lower octagonal wings linked by short connecting tracts; a small turret rises from the roof of the northern wing, which formerly held a chapel. The eastern entrance façade is marked by a projecting bay topped with a tympanon. The grounds also hold a two-arm staircase with a grotto, a terraced garden with vases on pedestals, a park with a drive lined by an avenue, a gardener's house and greenhouses.

A Gothic fortress stood here from the 14th century, when the village was split between two yeoman estates; a 1674 record calls the site Černý hrad nad Strží. In 1666 Jan Špork bought the Malešov estate and had a new Baroque château built at Roztěž as its seat. Karel Maxmilián Dahlberg-Ostein enlarged it in 1827–1830 with architect Josef Schleps, and Leopold Bauer remodelled it in 1900–1911 for Karel Dahlberg.

The castle chapel occupied the upper floor of the northern octagonal wing, whose roof still carries a small turret. The grounds also hold a two-armed staircase with a grotto, a terraced garden with vases on pedestals, a gardener's house and greenhouses. The castle hosted filming of the TV series Život na zámku and the films Setkání v červenci and Poklad byzantského kupce.

The castle is privately occupied and not open to the public, so visits are limited to viewing the exterior from the road or nearby paths. A walk around the estate gives the best view of the building and the surrounding park.

The castle appeared in the TV series Život na zámku and in the films Setkání v červenci and Poklad byzantského kupce. Since 2001 it has belonged to Terry Gou, who restored the grounds and laid out a golf course beside them; the castle itself is closed to the public and managed by Casa Serena.
