Nový zámek Libějovice, Baroque château in Libějovice, Czech Republic

Nový zámek Libějovice is a two-storey château with a rectangular plan and two short wings at its ends. Its Empire façades are divided by a tall order of Ionic pilasters; first-floor windows have triangular pediments and simple cornices above them. A long corridor runs through the building, with individual rooms opening off it.

Count Filip Buquoy founded the new château in 1696 about half a kilometre west of the village, replacing the Renaissance old château. A fire during construction delayed completion until 1747–1754, under František Leopold Buquoy. The Buquoys held Libějovice until 1801, when Jan Josef Buquoy sold it to Prince Joseph of Schwarzenberg, who added a second floor and late Empire façades in 1816–1817.

The Libějovice avenue, planted in the 1760s under the Buquoys, links the château southward to the Church of the Name of the Virgin Mary and northward to the Chapel of St Mary Magdalene; a third avenue led to a former pheasantry. The château forms part of the Libějovicko–Lomecko landscape heritage zone.

The château is currently closed to the public and only viewable from the outside due to its deteriorated condition. Visitors should exercise caution when approaching and plan for an exterior-only visit.

The château's rectangular plan ends in two short wings, not an E shape. Its first-floor windows carry triangular pediments and simple cornices above them, and a single long corridor runs through the building with the rooms opening off it. A small clock tower in the façade was demolished during the 1816–1817 works and the clock moved to the south fronton.
