Bolechovice Castle (Czech: Bolechovický zámek) 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 Šarfenbach. 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 Vykéř of Bolechovice, 1423 and Henry of Bolechovice in 1448 and 1450 (as an ally of the Poděbrady family).Early in the 16th century, the castle belonged Jan Žehart of Nasevrk, who sold it in 1539 to Jan Snětsky of Snět.
