Zámek Dobromilice Chateau
Zámek Dobromilice is a cultural monument in the village Dobromilice in the region Olomoucký kraj. This Baroque chateau dates back to 1368 when it was first mentioned as a medieval fortress. Its conversion to the Baroque structure Jan Arnošt ze Scherfenberka at the end of the 17th century refers to it as an architectural and historical jewel.
The origin of Zámek Dobromilice leads back to the medieval fortress, documented in 1368. In the middle of the 16th century Matyáš Žalkovský ze Žalkovic won the manor after leaving the original fortress. Jan Arnošt ze Scherfenberka later transformed the Baroque chateau at the end of the 17th century.
Zámek Dobromilice has architectural styles: medieval, Renaissance and Baroque influences. It has a five-winged arrangement with elements from various periods, including the Renaissance core, baroque modifications and extension of the 18th century Rococo Václav hrabě Kořenský z Terešova. Exteriors show carved facades with oblong windows, interiors boast Renaissance nets and baroque salon terrena.
The ownership of Zámek Dobromilice has changed owners several times over the centuries. After the reconstruction Jan Arnošt ze Scherfenberka switched to Přepyšští z Rychemberka in 1699, then to Kořenští z Terešova in 1737 and later to Marie Anna von Reichenau, provdaná Clam-Martinic in 1796. Michael Zikmund Bukůvka acquired it in 1826, under which the chateau became a vibrant social centre. The ownership passed through Bedřich z Fürstenberka before the transfer into private hands in 2002.
During his history Zámek Dobromilice hosted important events and figures. During Michael Zikmund Bukůvka she served as a cultural centre with musicians such as Karel Wilhelm Haugwitz and Hynek Soldier. She also welcomed political figures like Cyril František Nappa.
Today the chateau is privately owned and has been gradually renovated since 2002. Although it is not generally accessible to the public, its historical importance and architectural beauty make it a convincing destination for those interested in the Czech heritage.
