Zámek Hošťálková Chateau
The Hošťálková Chateau is a cultural monument situated in the village of Hošťálková, approximately 9 kilometers northwest of Vsetín in the Zlínský kraj region. This Empire-style chateau was built in the early 19th century as a summer residence for the Chorinský family. Its unique architecture and historical significance offer a glimpse into the lives of Moravia's nobility during the 19th century.
Commissioned by Fridrich Karel hrabě Chorinský z Ledské in the early 1840s, the project was led by master builder Karel Absolon and decorated by the Vienna sculptor Anton Rücker. The total cost was 8,728 gold coins. The chateau was built within an English park, also created at the same time. This significant undertaking reflected the wealth and influence of the Chorinský family, prominent nobles in Moravia during the 19th century.
The chateau is a one-story building with a rectangular floor plan and two corner pavilions. The main entrance is on the eastern side, and the facade features a cornice and a balcony supported by two columns. The chateau is surrounded by a small English park, which includes six ponds, a fountain, and greenhouses. The park was created during the chateau's construction and reflects the family's love for nature and beauty.
Throughout its history, the chateau has had several owners. After Fridrich Karel hrabě Chorinský z Ledské, it was inherited by Viktor hrabě Chorinský z Ledské in 1861. The chateau changed hands several times, with the Moravská agrární a průmyslová banka in Brno owning it from 1918 to 1924. JUDr. Stanislav Bublík purchased the chateau in 1924 and used it as his residence. The chateau was nationalized in 1948 and used as a training center for the Communist Party. After the Velvet Revolution in 1989, the chateau was returned to the local community and is now used as a restaurant and the seat of the local elementary school.
