Štětkovice, Cultural monument and château in Štětkovice, Czech Republic
Štětkovice is a one-storey château on the southern edge of a farmyard in the village of Štětkovice near Sedlčany, in the Příbram district of the Central Bohemian Region. It has a rectangular plan with a central risalit. The grounds also hold the remains of a boundary wall with a gate, a pond and an adjoining park; the protected farm buildings are a granary and a former brewery standing across the pond.
Štětkovice belonged to the Kosova Hora estate from the late 16th century. In 1670 Jakub Pecelius of Adlersheim bought it and made it the centre of a small estate; the château was founded in the 17th or 18th century, perhaps on the site of an older fortress. In 1787 Josef Lipovský of Lipovice bought it and his descendants held it until 1873; Karel Skal followed, then Leopold Pollak from 1880, whose family lost it during the first land reform. In the second half of the 20th century it served a state farm.
The village belonged to the Kosova Hora estate from the late 16th century until Jakub Pecelius of Adlersheim bought it in 1670 and made it the centre of a small estate. The château then served as the manor house, and its owners changed often; from 1787 to 1873 it stayed with the family of Josef Lipovský of Lipovice.
The château stands on the southern edge of a farmyard; the surviving granary and former brewery, on the opposite side of the pond, are separately protected. The grounds also take in the remains of a perimeter wall with a gate, the pond and an adjoining park. The one-storey building has a rectangular plan with a central risalit.
The farmyard next to the château lost part of its buildings; only the granary and the former brewery, standing across the pond, are protected along with the château. The grounds also keep the remains of a perimeter wall with a gate, the pond and an adjoining park.
