Zámek Kupařovice Castle
Zámek Kupařovice is located on the eastern edge of the village Kupařovice in the district of Brno-venkov. It is protected as a Baroque building as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic.
The castle was built in the 18th century according to the design of architect František Antonín Grimm. The construction took place between 1739 and 1743. The owner was Karel Maxmilián z Ditrichštejna, who used it mainly for occasional stays in the countryside and hunting purposes. The chateau also served as the seat of the house inspector. Together with the castle was created a complex of economic buildings belonging to the property.
The construction is a two-storey double-track building with a rectangular floor plan with a cross-axis passage. The simplicity of the architectural solution corresponded to its original purpose - to the headquarters rather than to the residential palace.
In the 19th century, the castle was transformed into an economic facility. In the early 20th century there was a granary. The construction was damaged after World War II. During the 1970s and 1980s it underwent important reconstruction and partial modernization. Economic buildings were at that time converted into accommodation and the castle was then used to stay members of the high authorities of the regime.
After the 1989 revolution, it was first used by the municipality and local entrepreneurs. It was then purchased by Ag- ING; Her owner Pavel Vyvěval even had his last name changed to Pavel Kuparowitz. However, the company was in financial difficulties and had been in bankruptcy since 2003. The castle has been auctioned unsuccessfully several times in this period. It was only in 2009 that the entrepreneur Tomáš Novotný bought it for 2.5 million crowns.
