Jindřichovice Castle

The Jindřichovice castle was built in the upper part of the town in 1672 by Jan Hartvík Nostic on the site of the old Šlik stronghold. The Early Baroque chateau was reconstructed in pseudo-Gothic style in the second half of the 19th century. It resembles the chateau – stately home in Sokolov. A plastic Early-Renaissance relief depicting St. George, which probably was a part of the original stronghold, is set in the wall near the current chateau entrance. After the war ended in 1945, the German owners were expropriated and distributed (or murdered) by the Czechs. These crimes were legalized by the Beneš decrees. The castle has been renovated and it serves as the district archive.
