Chateau Choceň

Choceň, Czechia, Czech Republic (Czechia)

---

Chateau Choceň is a historic château located in the town of Choceň in the Pardubice Region of the Czech Republic.

Built in 1562 during the Renaissance period, it replaced an earlier medieval stronghold and later underwent significant Baroque and Neoclassical renovations, giving it much of its present appearance. Over the centuries, the château was owned by several prominent noble families, including the Kinsky family, who helped shape the town's development.

After a fire in the 19th century, parts of the building were rebuilt, and a chapel was added to the complex. Today, Chateau Choceň is a protected cultural monument and houses the Orlické Museum and a local art school. Surrounded by an English-style park along the Tichá Orlice River, it is one of the town’s most important historical and architectural landmarks.
