Hrádek u Nechanic is a 19th-century Neo-Gothic castle located near the village of Nechanice in Czechia.

It was built between 1839 and 1857 as a summer residence for Count František Arnošt of the Harrach family, one of the notable noble families in Bohemia. The castle was designed by English architect Edward Buckton Lamb in Tudor Gothic style, with construction led and interior decoration suggested by Austrian architect Karl Fischer.

The richly decorated interiors include original furniture, antiques from Italy and Austria, and several impressive rooms such as the Golden Hall and Knight’s Hall, showcasing aristocratic life in the 19th century. The castle is surrounded by an English landscape park with meadows, forests, and a game reserve. Over time, it has become a cultural site, hosting exhibitions, guided tours, and various events, and was declared a National Cultural Heritage site in 2001.

The castle is also noted for appearances in films and offers visitors panoramic views from its clock tower.
