Castle Chocomyšl, château in Chocomyšl, Czech Republic

Castle Chocomyšl is a Baroque château southwest of the village centre, on the bank of the Chocomyšl pond. It grew in two stages during the 18th century from an older fortress: in 1720–1722 two side wings were added around an enclosed courtyard, and in 1761–1763 the building was enlarged and a chapel was created. After a fire in 1773 it was rebuilt to a design by Karel Balling from 1775.

A fortress is first documented in 1545, when Wolf of Wildenfels had his property registered. In 1711 the estate was bought for Count František Josef Černín, and in 1720–1722 the old Žákavec residence was rebuilt into a Baroque château, probably to a design by František Maxmilián Kaňka. After a fire in 1773, Karel Balling built a new château from 1775, roughly finished in 1777.

The château was built in 1720–1722 as the intended new centre of the Chudenice estate and was called the "new Chudenice château". Its two side wings enclose a courtyard; a chapel was added in 1761–1763. After the 1773 fire it was rebuilt to Karel Balling's design from 1775.

The castle is currently used as an agricultural machinery repair facility operated by ZAS Koloveč company. It is not open to the public as a tourist attraction, so visitors can view it from outside only.

In 1811 the château began producing sugar from maple syrup, an early attempt at sugar making in Bohemia. A major conversion into a sugar factory followed in 1831–1832 under Eugen Czernin, but yields fell short of expectations and the plant closed after a few years. From 1854 a distillery operated in the building.
