Zámek Ivanovice na Hané is a striking late Renaissance château in the town of Ivanovice na Hané in South Moravia.

It was built between 1608 and 1611 by transforming an earlier moated fortress into a four-winged residence with an elegant courtyard surrounded by arcades. The château is known for its impressive Renaissance architecture, including a central tower, decorative arcades, and historic stonework. During the Thirty Years’ War, it withstood a Swedish attack in 1643, and some cannonballs from the siege are still preserved in the walls.

Over the centuries, the estate passed through the hands of several noble families and underwent various modifications, including the addition of its tower in 1711 and later interior renovations. Today, it is an important cultural monument and one of the town’s most recognizable landmarks, although it is not generally open to the public.
