Zámek Dolejší Těšov

Hartmanice, Czechia, Czech Republic (Czechia)

Zámek Dolejší Těšov is a historic château in the small village of Dolejší Těšov near Hartmanice in the Šumava foothills of western Czechia.

It originated as a Renaissance fortress built in the second half of the 16th century by the Koc family of Dobrš, who established a small estate centered on the site. Around the end of the 17th century, the fortress was rebuilt into a Baroque château. Later owners, including the Dohalský family of Dohalice, further enhanced the estate and added a chapel dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in 1746.

The château remained in private hands until the mid-20th century, after which it was used by a state farm. A fire in the 1950s damaged the building, but it was subsequently restored. Today, the château complex is protected as a cultural monument and remains an important reminder of the region’s rural noble history.
