Kravsko Castle is a historic château located in the village of Kravsko near Znojmo in South Moravia.

It began as a Baroque summer residence built for the Premonstratensian abbots of the nearby Louka Monastery in the mid-18th century and was later transformed into an elegant Neoclassical château by Count Jan Václav Ugarte at the end of the 18th century. The château is notable for its symmetrical architecture, mansard roof, and distinctive Marian Chapel, which was added in the 19th century.

It is surrounded by a landscaped park featuring a pond and a variety of rare tree species, making the grounds an attractive part of the estate. Over time, the château served as a noble residence, a school, a recreation center, and later a hotel. Although it is currently closed to the public, it remains a protected cultural monument and an important part of the region’s architectural heritage.
