Chateau description

Château Dukovany got its current late baroque look in 1790 when countess Marie Brigita Malabaile de Canal, the wife of the botanist and a benefactor Emanuel de Canal had it reconstructed. The reconstruction in simple late baroque style with classicist elements was made by the construction supervisor from Brno Jan Amon. The château is a one-storey double-wing building on a rectangular ground plan. During the reconstruction at the end of 18th century a portico was added with a balcony at the entrance to the central building, facades were adjusted and the ground floor U-shape farming wings which complete the space of the honorary courtyard were built. In the central château building there are two halls with original fresco paintings- „Monkey hall“ and „Pantheon hall“ made for the countess de Canal by the painters Josef Winterhalder and Václav Waitzman.

After nationalization in 1945 the château served besides others as a school hostel of a vocational school of agriculture and State veterinary administration established here its training institution. In 1991 the château became the property of the village of Dukovany who used it for representation purposes and for some time there was also a restaurant in operation. In 2015 the château was bought by its present owner who reconstructed it completely and today it operates all year round as a three-star hotel with a restaurant. Since 2017 there has been ecological heating from the communal heating plant for biomass.
