history
Already at the end of the 13th century there was a sovereign castle in Telč, which the Bohemian King John of Luxembourg sold to the Lords of Wartenberg in 1315 . Later it came back to the king via the lords of Bergau and in 1339 to the lords of Neuhaus , a branch of the South Bohemian Witigonen family . They gave up the castle, which they used as an administrative center, in 1387 after a fire. A short time later, they built a moated castle on the site of today's castle, parts of which have been preserved to this day. During the reign of Zacharias von Neuhaus , the castle was rebuilt after 1550 by Antonio Ericer and Baldassare Maggi into a Renaissance castle with two arcaded courtyards. Since Zacharias died without male descendants, the castle fell to his nephew Adam II von Neuhaus in 1589 , from whom Joachim Ulrich von Neuhaus inherited it in 1596 . He was the last male descendant of the von Neuhaus family and died in 1604. His sister Lucie Otilie, who had been married to the future Chancellor Wilhelm von Slawata since 1602, became the heiress . This gave Telsch to the Slavata family . In 1712, the castle and rule fell to Franz Anton von Liechtenstein-Kastelkorn , who bequeathed both to Alois Podstatský von Prusinowitz , whose descendants retained the castle and the manor of Telč until 1945.
The castle consists of a treasure chamber, a dining room, an armory as well as the golden and the blue hall, which are splendidly furnished.
The architectural style is around 30% Gothic ; 70% are built in the Renaissance style.
Castle Park
An ornamental garden extends in front of the arcade leading into the gallery. There is a classicist greenhouse in the adjoining castle park .
