Myslkovice Castle, castle in Myslkovice, Czech Republic

Myslkovice Castle is a one-storey, single-wing building of irregular plan, given its present form by a 19th-century revival-style remodelling. A prismatic tower with a bell storey and an onion dome rises on the north-east side, and the east entrance front has an asymmetrical projecting bay with an attic gable. The white and ochre façade is seen from the west across the village pond.

The castle emerged in the late 1600s when Jan Aleš Maximilián Koňas from Vydří transformed the medieval fortress into a baroque château, completing it by 1669. It was seized by the state in 1948, returned to its original owners after 1989, and the village purchased it in 2006 to begin gradual restoration work.

Locals call the château "Zámeček" (Little Castle). Since 2006 it has belonged to the village, which uses it as a community centre; the former chapel of St Anthony was walled up during its conversion into a cultural house opened in 1961. The Jewish cemetery, about 600 m northeast, is the only remnant of a community that built its own synagogue, school, baths and hospital.

Myslkovice Castle stands in the village centre on a slight slope, its white and ochre facade visible from the west across Návesní rybník pond. The building is a single-storey, single-wing structure with a prismatic tower and onion dome on the north-east side. The park with its pavilion and memorial summer oak lies to the north, west and south; the Jewish cemetery is about 600 m north-east.

The stone fountain in the front courtyard once held a statue called Meluzína, now kept at the château in Dírnà. The large first-floor hall preserves a barrel vault with lunettes, and traces of polychrome painting survive on its decorated edges.
