Krásný Dvůr Chateau is an elegant Baroque residence located in the village of Krásný Dvůr in northwestern Czechia.

Built between 1720 and 1724 on the site of an earlier Renaissance manor, it was commissioned by the influential Černín family and designed by architect František Maxmilián Kaňka. The château is now protected as a national cultural monument. The château is especially famous for its extensive landscape park, one of the oldest English-style parks in the Czech Republic.

Created between 1783 and 1793, the park covers nearly 100 hectares and features romantic structures such as a Neo-Gothic temple, Pan’s Temple, a Gloriette, an obelisk, and scenic avenues lined with a wide variety of trees. Visitors can explore richly furnished interiors containing historic paintings, furniture, porcelain, clocks, and other decorative artworks. Together, the château and its park are considered among the finest examples of aristocratic architecture and landscape design in Czechia.
