Zámek Svinná

Hlohovice, Czechia, Czech Republic (Czechia)

---

Zámek Svinná near Hlohovice in the Czech Republic is a historic building originally constructed at the end of the 18th century as part of an agricultural estate.

It was built on the site of an older fortress, which was repurposed in the 18th century when the new castle was constructed nearby. The castle underwent classical style renovations in the early 19th century. Over time, it was owned by various noble families, including the Ledebour and Wurmbrand families.

After World War II, the castle was used by an agricultural cooperative, which led to its neglect and deterioration. Restoration efforts began only in the early 21st century to preserve this cultural heritage site protected by the Czech Republic. The original fortress dates back to the 14th century and had a significant renovation in the 16th century before being replaced by the newer castle structure.
