Chateau in Kyjov, Renaissance and Baroque chateau in Kyjov, Czech Republic.

The Kyjov château is a one-storey Renaissance building of roughly rectangular plan, standing below the slope in the town centre east of Masaryk Square and considered the town's oldest surviving structure. Its facades carry smooth plaster with sgraffito decoration, including 1911 paintings of scenes from the town's history by Jano Köhler. Ground-floor rooms mostly have barrel-vaulted ceilings, upper-floor rooms flat ones, and a one-storey addition of 2010 adjoins the southeast side.

The Kyjov estate belonged to the Hradisko Premonstratensian Monastery, which built a fortress south of the present château; this fortress disappeared before the mid-16th century. In 1538 Jan Kuna of Kunštát leased the estate and bought it a year later, then had a Renaissance château built below the church, completed around 1540. After a fire in 1636 it was reconstructed, and in 1911 painter Jano Köhler added sgraffito and scenes from the town's history to its facades.

The building has housed the Vlastivědné muzeum since 1926–1928, when the town's regional museum moved into its rooms. Its facade carries sgraffito bossage and paintings of scenes from the town's history, made by painter Jano Köhler in 1911. The museum presents the Kyjov region's collections inside a former aristocratic seat.

The château stands in the town centre, east of Masaryk Square and below the church slope. The Regional Museum, based here since 1926–1928, occupies the building; the one-storey southeast annex dates from 2010. The ground-floor rooms have barrel-vaulted ceilings, the upper floor flat ceilings.

The château is considered the oldest surviving building in Kyjov. A 2018 archaeological find during its reconstruction suggests a structure may have stood on the site as early as the late 15th century, older than the 1540 building itself.
