Telč Castle

History of the chateau

The Telč Chateau ranks among the gems of Moravian Renaissance architecture. Its attractiveness is enhanced by the very sensitive approach of the owners to its heritage, thus the original interiors have been preserved in very good condition. Many of them are representative examples of the influence of Italian art on our territory and of its variations in the area north of the Alps.

The transformation of the Gothic castle into a Renaissance residence took place primarily under Zachariáš of Hradec. As a member of the Hradec branch of the Vítkovec family, he acquired the Moravian domains as part of the inheritance from his father Adam I. of Hradec. A year later, in 1551, the new Telč owner took part in the famous journey of Czech noblemen to Genova in Italy. A report from that time even mentions him as the fourth most important nobleman and speaks highly of his elaborate armament and cohort. Zachariáš comes back influenced by Italian Renaissance and shortly after his return, starts, as with the other participants of the journey, to transform his residence.

Telč Castle and historic town square. After the first town castle was destroyed in the large city fire of 1387, a new water castle was built, which was reconstructed in renaissance style in 1580, inspired by Italian architecture. Some parts of the old castle survived, and the look was not further modified in more modern styles, so the castle is a rare surviving example of 16th Century Italian renaissance. Together with five churches, the city hall and original 14-16th Century houses it forms the Inner city, a UNESCO heritage site with completely intact historical development. Aerial view.
