Castle and Chapel

The castle in Dolní Tošanovice, house number 1, is protected as an immovable cultural monument. It is an Empire-style building dating from around the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries. It stands on the site of a fortress first mentioned in 1445. Two different historical periods therefore come together at this location: the year 1445 refers to the mention of the former fortress, while the Empire style places the castle in a later period. This connects the history of the site with a specific architectural classification. Another point of cultural and historical interest is the Chapel of Saints Cyril and Methodius, designated as a monument of local significance. The two monuments have different classifications: the castle is an immovable cultural monument, while the chapel is a monument of local significance.
