Dřevohostice Castle, Renaissance château in Dřevohostice, Czech Republic.

The four-winged castle stands at the confluence of Moštěnka River and Bystřička Stream, featuring a symmetrical architectural design with Renaissance elements.

Originally constructed as a water fortress in the 14th century, the structure underwent extensive reconstruction between 1595 and 1617 to become a Renaissance château.

The castle houses permanent exhibitions dedicated to sculptor Jiří Lender and Cardinal Lev Skrbenský, along with a collection of firefighting equipment.

The castle gardens host two annual events: Dřevorockfest music festival and Setkání dechových hudeb, which presents regional brass band performances.

The castle functions as a municipal cultural center since 2002, serving the social needs of Dřevohostice's 1,500 residents through various community programs.
