Zámek Kvasice is a historic château located in the town of Kvasice in the Zlín Region of Czechia.

It stands on the site of an earlier medieval water fortress and later castle that occupied a strategic position near a crossing of the Morava River. Over the centuries, the fortress evolved into a Renaissance château and was eventually remodeled in the early 19th century into its present Neoclassical form.

The estate was owned by several prominent noble families, including the Šternberks, Rottals, Lamberks, and Thun-Hohensteins. It is also associated with Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, who visited the area for hunting trips. Surrounded by an English-style park with mature trees, the château retains a number of historic architectural features despite various renovations over the centuries.

The former defensive moats and fortifications were removed during later landscape improvements. Today, Zámek Kvasice serves as a residential care facility and is not generally open to the public, but it remains one of the town’s most important landmarks and a notable example of the region’s aristocratic heritage.
