Tažovice, Cultural monument and château in Tažovice, Czech Republic

Tažovice is a one-storey château with two wings, standing on the left bank of the Novosedelský potok at the western edge of the village. Its corners are marked by rustication and the façade is divided by pilasters; the ground-floor rooms have barrel vaults, some with lunettes. On the east side a balustraded courtyard holds a flower garden with a fountain bearing the coat of arms of Kryštof Koc and his wife Anna Vojnická z Branišova.

The village was first recorded in 1360, and a fortress existed by the 14th century, though it was only documented in 1544. The Koc of Dobrš family rebuilt it as a château and moved the estate seat here from Ohrazenice; they held Tažovice until 1776. Benedikt and Monika of Lobes, owners from 1793, carried out the Empire-style alterations around 1800.

The château's French-style park earned it the nickname "Versailles of the Bohemian Forest". In the courtyard balustrade a fountain bears the coat of arms of Kryštof Koc and his wife Anna Vojnická z Branišova, and the blind gate holds a torso of a statue. The Kocs moved the seat of their estate here from Ohrazenice.
