Description

Most probably while in possession of Wolfgang Henneg the château was rebuilt in baroque style. At the time of Jan Václav Buben of Litice (1733) in the Southern wing the château chaple of St. Anne was built with its richly decorated entrace port from the courtyard. The space of the chaple pervades the groundfloor and the first floor of the château. Between 1850 and 1860 the château was rebuilt in Neo-Gothic style by Jana Tieglová of Lindenkron.

The original altar was destroyed during the war. The current altar was brought to the chaple from the church of archangel Michael of the village of Lauterbach near Sokolov. The most precious work is the painting of St John the baptist. The fresco of Madona Svatohorská beyond the vault is noteworthy too. The ceremony regularly takes place here every last Sunday in the month.

The château is a three-wing, three-storey building finished with a gable roof with a small tin spire. The front facade of the central part is divided by three-part arcades. The entrance into the chaple of St Anne faces a smaller courtyard that is closed from both sides by the two wings. On the sides of the entrance there are the sandstone statues of St Leonard and St Felix. Both are good quality works from the first half of the 18th centry, yet today in a very bad condition, headless and rather weathered.

The area of the château Osečany is in total 7,5 hectares , the built-up area of which is only 645 square metres, the rest being taken by the château park with numerous full-grown woody plants, roads, garages and a part of granary.

The building of the château for sale inside the château compound was proclaimed an estate cultural monument in 1998 (the château compound and the park) and is thus registred on the corresponding list ÚSKP(The Central list of cultural monuments in the Czech republic, managed by The National Heritage Institute).
