Medlánky Castle, Château in Brno-Medlánky, Czech Republic

Medlánky Castle is a one-storey building with a rectangular plan on Hudcova Street in the centre of Medlánky. A central risalit with rounded corners, five window axes and a ground-floor passage portal divides it into a five-axis western wing and an eleven-axis eastern wing. A 3.30-hectare park with a protected copper beech adjoins it to the south.

Medlánky Castle arose in the 18th century, likely on the site of a medieval farmstead, as a summer residence for the owner of the Medlánky estate, the Marie Školská Foundation, which ran the Palác šlechtičen in Brno. A 1752 description records a decorated single-storey Baroque building with a chapel and rooms painted by Brno artist Jan Wuntschig. Around 1811–1812 it was rebuilt in Empire style, partly raised by one storey and its decoration removed; in 1828 the west wing was also raised and converted into a granary.

The château's name comes from the village of Medlánky, where it stands on Hudcova street. Its grounds held a park split into French and English sections. Since a private reconstruction it has housed a restaurant and pub on the ground floor, so visitors today enter the former manor to eat and drink.

The château stands on Hudcova Street in the centre of Medlánky, a one-storey building with a rectangular plan; its central risalit has a ground-floor passage portal. The 3.30 ha park adjoins it to the south and contains a protected copper beech declared in 2015. The ground floor now houses a restaurant and pub.

The castle is not medieval: it was built in the 18th and 19th centuries, probably on the site of a medieval farmstead. In 1887 the Brno mayor Rudolf Spazier was born here, where his father worked as a gardener; a memorial plaque was placed on the building in 1992.
