Hněvkovice Castle, Cultural castle in Hněvkovice, Czech Republic.

Hněvkovice Castle is a one-storey building with a rectangular plan and a hipped roof, standing on a gentle slope above the Vltava, 3 km southeast of Týn nad Vltavou. Above the entrance is a terracotta coat of arms of Archbishop Jan Bedřich of Valdštejn, and extensive vaulted cellars lie beneath the building. Of the two Baroque gates, only the one at the southwest corner of the grounds survives, now without an access road.

Jerome Hozlauer of Hozlau built a Renaissance fortress here in 1584, recorded in the land registers as decorated with sgraffito and frescoes. After the Bohemian Revolt it was seized by imperial troops and in 1621 passed to Jan Častolár, who handed it to Archbishop Jan Lohelius. Archbishop Jan Bedřich of Valdštejn had it rebuilt as a Baroque château, which served as the seat of the Vltavotýn archbishopric estate until 1699 and housed the St Vitus chapter during the Prague plague of 1713–1714.

The castle reveals how Czech nobility conducted their daily lives and hosted celebrations through its reception spaces. The formal rooms show how the local aristocracy entertained guests and displayed their status.

The castle stands 3 km southeast of Týn nad Vltavou centre on a gentle slope above the Vltava, separated from the river by road II/105 and cycle route 1079, part of the Vltava cycling path. The building now houses a secondary vocational school, so visits depend on the school; the surviving baroque gate in the southwest corner of the grounds no longer has an access path.

The castle overlooks the countryside surrounding the village and offers views across the Vltava region. Its elevated position allows visitors to experience the broader landscape of South Bohemia from a different vantage point.
