CHATEAU

Střížkov chateau

Střížkov 1, 256 01 Struhařov - Střížkov

The dilapidated chateau built around 1907 on the site of the original one from 1818 was in the possession of Charles Ignatius Drahotin Villani. The chateau was part of an agricultural cooperative, as evidenced by the surrounding buildings. Today everything lies fallow.

The chateau is a single-storey building with a distinctly elongated rectangular ground plan oriented approximately in the east-west direction. The masonry is mixed, recently plastered. The original facade articulation has disappeared. The northern, main façade faces the courtyard. The long plan of the building consists of two unequally sized parts - a shorter granary to the east (which has largely disappeared in recent times), and a longer manor house to the west. The two parts do not appear to have been created in the same way. The granary was situated on the first floor, while the remains of the stables are preserved on the ground floor. Both the ground floor and the first floor are lit by clerestory windows. The castle itself is basically divided into two longitudinal tracts, both on the ground floor and on the first floor. The hipped roof is covered with beavertail tiles. The window openings are unfilled, mostly modern. Entrances to the ground floor are flanked by simple carved portals. The ridge of the roof over the castle was lower than over the granary block, the roofs separated by a brick gable. The granary block has largely disappeared. The building has unfortunately lost its original architectural appearance, but its material features significantly complement the courtyard area.
