The key architectural and historic monument of a small town Dolní Brežany, late Renaissance Chateau, looks after 120 years practically untouched.
Existing Chateau was originally Gothic stronghold (built ca 1300), which was rebuilt into four-wing late-Renaissance structure enclosing square courtyard with forwarded western-oriented prismatic tower. The rebuilding was done during ownership (1590-1606) of Kryštof Želínský of Sebuzín. The annexed neo-Romanesque Chapel of St. Mary Magdalene was built in 1885-1887.

Chateau, together with adjacent Chapel, are waiting for planned reconstruction in near future...
