Bolechovice Castle () is a castle in the Czech Republic, considered a representative example of a rococo Central Bohemian estate set on a medieval foundation.
The castle is set in the middle of a former farmstead. A two-story rococo building, the front wing has a central pediment and the buttresses to the main facade. Above the entrance portal is a cartouche with the coat of arms of Thomas Popovsky à  arfenbach. A rear residential wing was added, probably in the 19th century.
The first mention of the Bolechovice chateau is with the passing of the Marquis of Bolechovice in 1381, followed by VykÃ©à  of Bolechovice, 1423 and Henry of Bolechovice in 1448 and 1450 (as an ally of the PodÃÂbrady family).
Early in the 16th century, the castle belonged Jan à ½ehart of Nasevrk, who sold it in 1539 to Jan SnÃÂtsky of SnÃÂt. The SnÃÂt lordship sold to Bedà Âichovský of Lomna, and a member of the family Anna Kateà Âina MÃÂdÃÂncová of Vesce in 1622 sold off to Zdenek Lvov Libà ¡tejnské of Kolovratt; in 1704 TomÃ¡à ¡ Popovský of à  afenbach. The structure was built as a humble abode, not originally as a chateau, but in 1775 it was built as such by Jan KarvÃÂnsky of KarvÃÂna on the location of the earlier fortification. Owners changed frequently from that time until 1882 when brewer Emanuel Kallberg purchased it and it was passed on to his descendants.
There is currently no available documentation as to the estate's provenance during the second world war, or after, when according to the so-called Beneà ¡ decrees, property of Nazi sympathizers was confiscated. Similarly, there is no documentation of how the estate was managed under the Czechoslovak Communist regime, when similar properties were confiscated by the government.
The Bolechovice castle was occupied up to and after the Velvet Revolution by the family of the painter Jan SouÃÂek, and is currently registered to his wife Emilie SouÃÂková along with Milan Kalina, managing editor of Prague's Jewish community journal, Obecnànoviny and Bejt Simcha's magazine, Maskilu. Burdened with debt, the castle has recently been seized by its creditors, pending property auction. In recent cultural history, Bolechovice Castle has been host to a variety of cultural events.
