Architectonic complex of the Renaissance Chateau Vlašim (zámek Vlašim), together with adjacent vast English park, is a principal landmark and touristic attraction of town Vlašim.

The Renaissance chateau was rebuilt from a medieval Gothic castle of the French type, as can be seen from the massive tower, in the end of the 16th century by a noble family Vostrovec of Královice (Vostrovcové z Královic). During the 18th and 19th century, during the ownership of Princes of Auersperg (1744-1945), the chateau was enlarged and partially reshaped in Empire style. From this time originates the vast and unique English park with romantic pavillons and also three neo-Gothic entrance gates with CoAs of the former owners. The chateau, opened for public and owned by the state, offers to visitors display focused mainly on the Vlašim region. There is also a unique exhibition of hunting and sports guns.


Zámek Vlašim vznikl radou prestaveb gotického hradu z roku 1303 a reprezentativním sídlem se stal i díky druhému pražskému arcibiskupoviJanu Ockovi z Vlašimi. K velkému rozvoji došlo v 15. století za Trcku z Lípy. Kolem roku 1600 za Vostrovcu z Kralovic byl hrad prestaven na renesancní zámek. V 19. století, kdy na zámku sídlila knížata z Auerspergu (do roku 1945), byl zámek zmenen do dnešní podoby. Dnes se na zámku nachází Muzeum Podblanicka, ve kterém je k videní výstava z historie zámku a parku, expozice S presnou muškou o tradici strelectví a zbrojarství i s trofejemi exotických zvírat a Zrcadlo minulosti približující každodenní život predku. Návštevníci mohou navštívit také zámecké sklepení, zámeckou kapli založenou Marií Josefou z Auerspergu roku 1771 a zámeckou vež, jíž lze využít jako rozhledny. [wiki]
