Kelč Castle

Kelč Castle is a château located in the town of Kelč, featuring architectural styles spanning from Renaissance to Baroque periods. The stone structure rises above the town center and displays various architectural phases across its walls.

The castle's origins trace back to the late Gothic period, but major rebuilding in the 17th century transformed its form entirely. This renovation work converted it from a Gothic structure into a Renaissance and Baroque residence for the nobility.

The castle functions as a vocational school today, allowing the building to remain active within the community. Students study within walls that once sheltered noble families, keeping the place part of daily local life.

Access to the castle grounds is possible, though visiting times relate to the school's schedule. The exterior can be viewed from multiple angles around the building, allowing visitors to observe the different architectural styles from various vantage points.

The building contains stonework and details that reflect the craft traditions of the medieval and early modern periods. These features are visible in the walls and window frames, offering glimpses into construction methods from different eras.
