There’s a Castle Near Kutná Hora for Sale — Cheaper Than a Prague Apartment!

The village of Soutice sits on the border of the Kutná Hora and Benešov districts. A road leading from the D1 motorway to Zruč nad Sázavou runs through the edge of the village, adding to the appeal of the local castle.

This protected cultural monument, with a total land area of 50,133 square meters, is now on the market.

Built in the late 17th century on the site of a former fortress, the Soutice chateau has been a cultural monument since the late 1950s. Conservationists describe the well-preserved structure as a valuable example of an aristocratic country residence.

During a building history survey, Gothic masonry was found within the walls of the current structure, placing the castle on the list of endangered monuments.

The castle suffered significant damage from a major fire in 1895 and underwent its last major restoration in the early 20th century. Like many historical sites, it was negatively impacted by the regime and poorly planned renovations in the years that followed.

Before World War II, the castle was a hub of cultural activity. In the post-war years, it served as a school and later as an archive.

A Surprising Price

The property for sale includes the castle itself, a farmyard, a former distillery, and a castle park, all totaling over 50,000 square meters. The asking price for this entire estate is CZK 19,490,000—an amount that might surprise those familiar with the costs of real estate in the capital.

While the roof trusses were repaired and a new roof installed in 2017, the rest of the property is in need of a full renovation. Fortunately, the site has access to all municipal utilities, making the restoration process more feasible for the future owner.
