zámek Liptál Chateau
The Liptál Castle is a small baroque castle situated in the village of Liptál, near Vsetín, in the Zlínský kraj region. Built on the site of an old fojtství, it was constructed at the end of the 17th century by the owner of the local estate. This monument is notable for its well-preserved baroque core and empire-style facade with a mansard roof and a rizalit entrance in the courtyard wing.
The castle's origins are tied to the local nobility, with the Lindenbergové and Sedlničtí z Choltic families owning the estate before the Kopenicové acquired it in 1710. The castle remained in the Kopenicové family's possession until 1790. The Brandenstein-Zeppelin family took ownership in 1930, but their tenure was short-lived, as the castle was confiscated after World War II in 1945.
The castle's architecture is characterized by a baroque core and an empire-style facade with a mansard roof and a rizalit entrance in the courtyard wing. The building's design reflects the tastes of the nobility during the Baroque period. The castle's facade features the coat of arms of Count Jan František ze Stommu on the north-facing wall.
The castle's ownership and administration have undergone significant changes throughout its history. The Kopenicové family owned the castle from 1710 to 1790, followed by the Brandenstein-Zeppelin family from 1930 to 1945. The castle was confiscated after World War II and has since been in the possession of the local community.
Several events and curiosities are associated with the castle. The castle's naturalistic park from the early 19th century is still accessible today, featuring remnants of a forest park with a pheasantry. The castle has also hosted various exhibitions and vernissages, including flower exhibitions and historical technology displays. In recent years, the castle has been used for guided tours with costumed characters and has been the subject of a public fundraising campaign to repair the roof, a crucial step towards its full restoration.
Today, the Liptál Castle is a protected cultural monument of the Czech Republic and is mostly closed to the public. However, during the Liptálské slavnosti, an international folk festival, the castle hosts exhibitions and vernissages. The castle is also open for occasional guided tours with costumed characters. Visitors can explore the remnants of the naturalistic park and admire the castle's architecture. The castle's restoration is ongoing, with a model of the planned renovation and surrounding area available for viewing at the local town hall.
