Zámek V Komářicích

Zámek v Komařicích is a historic Renaissance château located in the village of Komařice in South Bohemia, southeast of České Budějovice.

It was created in 1565 to 1566 when Jiří Kořenský of Terešov rebuilt an older medieval fortress into a more comfortable Renaissance residence. The château complex, which also includes former farm buildings and a granary, is protected as a cultural monument. Over the centuries, the estate changed owners and was held by the Vyšší Brod Monastery for more than 300 years.

Architectural features include Renaissance sgrafito decorations, arcaded courtyards, a historic chapel, and a distinctive tower. After decades of insufficient maintenance, the château fell into a poor condition and became one of the region’s endangered heritage sites. In recent years, restoration efforts have been underway, with repairs to parts of the roof and structure aimed at preserving the building and returning it to cultural use.
