Zámek Teplice is a historic château in the spa city of Teplice in northwestern Czechia.

Its origins date back to the 12th century, when Queen Judith founded a Benedictine convent on the site. After the monastery declined during the Hussite Wars, it was gradually transformed into a manor house and later into a château by successive noble families.

From 1634 to 1945, the estate was owned by the influential Clary-Aldringen family, who carried out major renovations and gave the château much of its present Classicist appearance. The building became a notable cultural and social center that hosted prominent visitors such as Goethe, Casanova, Chopin, and Liszt.

Today, the château houses the Regional Museum in Teplice, featuring exhibitions on archaeology, natural history, art, spa culture, and local history. Visitors can also see historic interiors, a Romanesque crypt, and remains of the original medieval monastery, making it one of the city’s most important cultural landmarks.
