Zámek Dolní Beřkovice is a castle in the village of Dolní Beřkovice, Czech Republic, with origins dating back to the 14th century.

Originally built as a fortified medieval fortress, it was transformed into a Renaissance castle between 1606 and 1614. In 1627, the castle came under the ownership of Polyxena Lobkowicz, whose family retained it for a long period. The castle underwent a significant Neo-Renaissance reconstruction in 1853 led by architects Heinrich Ferstel and Friedrich August Stache, and in 1913 a modern villa was added on the grounds.

Over the years, the castle has been used for various purposes, including as a school and storage. It suffered damage in the 2002 floods but remains a protected cultural monument. The castle’s history reflects its evolution from a defensive fortress to a noble residence and cultural landmark in the Central Bohemian region.
