Diana is a castle in the village of the same name near Rozvadovo in the Tachov district. It was founded by the Kolovrats in the first half of the eighteenth century. It has been protected as a cultural monument since 1964.

In the 18th century the area around Diana Castle belonged to the Velkdvorec estate of the Novi Hrads of the Kolovrat family. The founders of the castle were probably František Zdeněk (1659–1716) and František Václav (1689–1738) from Novohrad from Kolovrat. The first written mention of the castle dates back to 1742 (1743 or already 1732). The castle was founded as a hunting lodge and therefore also named after Diana, the Roman goddess of the hunt. Next to the castle there was a nature reserve and also an English park.

With a two-year hiatus during World War II, it was owned by family members until it was nationalized in 1948.

With a two-year hiatus during World War II, it was owned by family members until it was nationalized in 1948. In the second half of the 20th century, the National Committee of the Tachov District became the owner and in 1960 it established an old people's home. After the Velvet Revolution, Diana Castle was visited in 1991 by its pre-war owner, Jindřich Kolowrat-Krakowský, who was 94 at the time.

It has been said to have been empty since the 1990s.
