Zámek Přílepy

Přílepy, Czechia, Czech Republic (Czechia)

Zámek Přílepy is a historic château located in the village of Přílepy near Holešov in the Zlín Region of eastern Czechia.

The present building was largely shaped in the 19th century when the noble Seilern family transformed an older fortress and Renaissance residence into a Neo-Renaissance château with a distinctive corner tower. The château is surrounded by a valuable park containing rare and mature trees, as well as the Chapel of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary.

Together, the château, park, and chapel form a protected cultural heritage site. After World War II, the building took on a very different role, serving as a gynecological clinic and maternity hospital from 1955 to 1994, where nearly 21,000 children were born. Following years of neglect, the château has undergone extensive restoration led by the local community and municipality.

Today, Zámek Přílepy functions as an important cultural and community center, housing municipal facilities and hosting events while preserving the history and architectural heritage of the region.
