Kamenice Castle, Cultural monument in Kamenice, Czech Republic

Kamenice Castle is a one-storey rectangular neo-Gothic building erected in 1875–1880 to a design by architect Jiří Stibral. Its main facade has eleven window axes with surrounds and cornices; projecting bays with paired windows and battlements stand on the north and south sides, and the square entrance portico is carried by two columns. The east facade includes a tall prismatic tower and a smaller corner tower.

A medieval fortress stood here from the 13th century, when Ratmír of Kamenice is named as an early owner in 1266. In 1547 Ferdinand I confiscated it from Prague's New Town, and from 1763 the Prague archbishops used Kamenice as a summer residence and had the fortress rebuilt as a château. František Ringhoffer II bought it in 1860, and his son had it rebuilt in 1875–1880 to Jiří Stibral's design.

The castle is privately owned by Strojmetal Kamenice, which plans to turn it into a training school for future employees, so the interior is not open to visitors. The neighbouring Church of St Francis of Assisi, a 14th-century early Gothic building rebuilt by Jiří Stibral at the end of the 19th century, holds services every Saturday. In the park stands a neo-Gothic garden pavilion with a two-storey tower, often mistaken for a remnant of the medieval fortress.

The castle stands next to the church of St Francis of Assisi in Kamenice, east of Prague. The building is privately owned by Strojmetal Kamenice and its interior was heavily damaged in the 20th and early 21st centuries, so it is not open as a museum. The adjoining park, once about four hectares, is freely walkable; look for the 1810 crucifix and the 19th-century garden pavilion.

The neo-Gothic garden pavilion in the park, with its two-storey tower and staircase, is often mistaken for a remnant of the medieval fortress; it actually dates from the 19th century. A crucifix with the Crucified Christ, erected in 1810 by Archbishop Vilém Salm-Salm, recalls the former cemetery by the church of St Francis of Assisi.
