Tvoršovice Castle, Cultural monument château in Tvoršovice, Czech Republic.
Tvoršovice Castle is a two-storey baroque château with a rectangular plan on the northwestern edge of the village. Its main facade is dominated by the right corner, raised into a symbolic tower topped with a balustrade, while the rear facade is articulated by a pair of projections. The grounds include a park, a garden before the main facade, a southwestern farm building, a boundary wall, a small stone bridge and statues of Saint Florian and Saint Anne.
Petr Radecký of Radče had the Baroque château built around 1701; his family kept it until 1765, when Václav Leopold Radecký sold it to the miller Náhlovský. After several changes of owner, Jan and Marie Schebek acquired it in 1868 and had it remodelled in Neo-Renaissance style, possibly by Vojtěch Ignác Ullmann. Cyril Bartoň of Dobenín inherited it in 1947; the following year it was nationalised and turned into a retirement home.
The village and estate took the name Tvoršovice, and the château has served as a retirement home after 1948 and, since the late 1990s, as a hotel with a restaurant and golf facilities. The grounds include a statue of Saint Florian, a statue of Saint Anne and two cast-iron lamp posts.
The château now serves as a hotel with a restaurant, so the building can be entered as a guest or diner; the surrounding buildings were adapted as facilities for the golf course. The grounds lie on the northwestern edge of Tvoršovice, and the protected area also takes in the park, the garden in front of the main façade, a stone bridge and a boundary wall.
The château's main façade has a corner raised into a symbolic tower topped with a balustrade, while the rear façade is marked by a pair of projecting bays. The grounds also hold a statue of Saint Florian, a statue of Saint Anne and two cast-iron lamp posts.
