Cetechovice - South Moravia, Czech Republic - Castles on Waymarking.com

Cetechovice Chateau is a Baroque four-winged building west of the village. At present it is a private property and not open to the public. Initially a fortress stood here, first mentioned in 1481. In 1682–1685, Karel Antonín Zeller of Rosenthal carried out some basic modifications. Irregularities in the shape of the northern and eastern wing reflect local connections to this fortress. The chateau was reconstructed into the present Baroque one-storey building in 1731–1738, under Josef Antonín of Mayerswald. A year later, the village including the chateau fell into the hands of the Petrvald family. In 1763 the chateau was bought by the Künburgs, who converted the original park around the chateau into arable land. The entire chateau is dominated by an enormous Baroque portal with fine decorations and a sundial. Over the portal, a joint coat of arms with emblems of the Zellers of Rosenthal and the Mayers of Mayerswald is located. After 1945 it became a collective farm, but also the Franciscan Order seated here. For the needs of the Order, the interior was extensively reconstructed, which completely damaged the chateau rooms. After 1989 the chateau was returned to the Šimon family.
