Zámek Brodek u Prostějova is a historic château located in the market town of Brodek u Prostějova in the Olomouc Region of the Czech Republic.

Built in 1685 on the site of an older fortress and later rebuilt and expanded in the 18th century, the château combines Baroque, Classical, and later architectural influences. The estate includes a landscaped garden, a courtyard with a fountain, and former agricultural buildings. Over the centuries, the château was owned by several noble families, including the Ulfelds, Schrattenbachs, Kálnokys, and later the Belcredi family.

It became known for its valuable collections of art, furniture, books, and decorative objects, although many of these were lost or dispersed after World War II when the property was confiscated and used for non-residential purposes. Today, the château is a protected cultural monument. Following restitution and ongoing restoration efforts, it remains an important historical landmark that reflects the region’s aristocratic heritage and architectural history.
