Zámek Hluboš, Renaissance château in Hluboš, Czech Republic

Zámek Hluboš is a château combining Baroque and Neo-Renaissance architectural forms set on elevated ground above the village. Its facades display ornate details, grand interior staircases connect multiple levels, and rooms throughout retain decorative elements from different periods.

The fortress at Hluboš was first mentioned in writing in 1502, and a late-Baroque château was created from it in the mid-16th century. The Hochberg family had the old fortress rebuilt as a château in the 18th century. Around 1872 the Oettingen-Wallerstein family extended it and gave it a Neo-Renaissance form, adding a winter garden and the Chapel of the Holy Cross.

The residence served as a summer home for Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk, the first president of Czechoslovakia, between 1920 and 1921. This connection to the nation's founding period gives the place special meaning for many visitors.

The château has been closed to visitors since 2010 and was sold in 2017; in 2025 the Chateau Masaryk company took over the grounds and began reconstruction for a hotel resort with wellness. The building stands in the village of Hluboš near Příbram, with the main road from Jince to Příbram passing east of it. Check the current state before travelling, as access depends on the building work.

The castle park ranks among the oldest botanical gardens in Czechia. Count Antonín Hochberg of Hennersdorf laid it out at the start of the 19th century, and Emperor Franz I of Habsburg visited it in 1810. The French garden and arboretum later vanished through neglect; the landscape park that replaced it dates from the Oettingen-Wallerstein era.
