Vojnice, Château in Vojnice, Czech Republic

Vojnice is a château in Vojnice, near Volenice in the Strakonice District, formed by rebuilding a 14th-century fortress. It has two single-storey wings in an L-shape with plain façades. The ground floor of the west wing has an arcaded corridor with cross vaults; the first-floor arcade was walled up in the 19th century. The grounds include farm buildings and a park with a pavilion, orangery, wooden gazebos and a greenhouse.

A fortress from the 14th century was transformed into a Renaissance château in the 17th century under the Branišov family. This conversion marked a shift from military to residential purposes.

The village church was founded by Václav Markvart Vojslav of Branišov, and the estate stayed with the family until 1698, when peasants killed his son Václav Vojslav. The park pavilion, orangery, wooden arbours and greenhouse belong to the protected grounds.

The château building has been converted into residential apartments and is not open to the public for visits. The surrounding park can be viewed from outside, offering a glimpse of the historical complex.

Václav Vojslav of Branišov, founder of the Vojnice church, was killed by his own subjects in 1698; the estate then passed to his son. The killing is recorded in the Wikipedia article on the Vojnice château, which names the victim and the year but gives no further detail on the revolt.
