Mokrosuky Castle, Cultural monument in Mokrosuky, Czech Republic.
Mokrosuky Castle is a one-storey, two-wing château in Mokrosuky, formed by rebuilding a fortress. Its oldest part is the southeast wing, which retains Gothic masonry with two corbels. The south wing has mid-18th-century arcades facing the street, and a chapel annex projects at the east end. A barrel-vaulted passage with lunettes leads into the courtyard.
The structure originated as a medieval fortress and was modified over time by different noble families who each left their mark. This gradual transformation evolved it into the residential noble residence seen today.
The castle's name derives from the village of Mokrosuky, first mentioned in writing in 1418. The southeast wing retains Gothic masonry with a pair of corbels, and the first floor of the south wing has arcades from the mid-18th century facing the street. The chapel annex at the east end has a flat ceiling and a semicircular termination.
The castle stands in the village of Mokrosuky in the Klatovy district, with the grounds including the moat, the perimeter wall, the farmyard buildings and a park on the eastern side. The protected area is a cultural monument since 1964; access to the interiors is not documented in the sources, so arrange any visit in advance.
The oldest part is the southeast wing, where Gothic masonry with a pair of corbels survives; the Monument Catalogue suggests the Renaissance builders remodelled a 15th-century Gothic fortress rather than founding a new one. The first floor of the south wing opens onto street-facing arcades from the mid-18th century.
