Merklín, Renaissance château in Merklín u Přeštic, Czech Republic.

The château stands as a two-story stone building with rectangular windows, surrounded by gardens in the center of Merklín u Přeštic.

The structure, dating from 1356, underwent modifications in the 16th century when it transformed from a fortress into a residential château.

The château represents a transition in Czech architecture from defensive fortifications to residential manors during the Renaissance period.

Visitors can reach the château by taking regional bus services from Plzeň, located 25 kilometers northeast of the monument.

The château maintains its original Renaissance architectural elements while incorporating later Baroque modifications in its facade and interior spaces.
