Skřivany Castle, Cultural monument in Skřivany, Czech Republic.

Skřivany Castle is a two-storey building with an irregular ground plan, built on the site of a 16th-century Renaissance fortress at the eastern edge of Skřivany near a branch of the Cidlina. A tall prismatic tower with crenellations rises where its two main wings meet, and lower towers terminate each wing. It stands in a park with a coach house and a factory making tin packaging.

A Renaissance fortress from the mid-16th century, first documented in 1628, stood here until it was destroyed in the Thirty Years' War. The ruin was rebuilt as a Baroque château, possibly in the second half of the 17th century or around 1720, when the castle chapel of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary was also founded. Gustav Ledvinka had it rebuilt in 1867–68 by Josef Niklas into its present neo-Gothic form, and Adolf Ritter of Záhony bought it in 1872.

The castle chapel, built in 1720, was initially reserved for the estate and later served the village as the Church of the Holy Family; since 1842 it has been dedicated to Saint Anne. The castle itself takes its present neo-Gothic form, known as Windsor Gothic, from the 1867–68 rebuilding designed by Josef Niklas.

Skřivany Castle stands at the eastern edge of the village, beside one of the arms of the Cidlina river, within a park that also holds a coach house and a tin-packaging factory on the site of the former 19th-century sugar refinery. The castle has been owned by the Královéhradecký region since the social care institute closed in 2017, and the regional social services home Skřivany is registered as its administrator; access to the interior is therefore not a given and should be arranged in advance.

The castle's park once held a 19th-century sugar refinery; it was closed and the grounds now house a factory making tin packaging. The castle itself served as a social care institute until 2017, and since 2021 the Královéhradecký region still owns it, with the Skřivany Social Services Home as manager.
