Archbishop’s chateau Kroměříž

Kroměříž

Originally a castle, and later a chateau as well as the residence of the Olomouc bishops. After its destruction by the Swedes in the Thirty Years’ War, Bishop Karl II of Liechtenstein-Castelcorn rebuilt it into a sumptuous early baroque palace with an Italian flair.

Zámek bez vážné újmy přečkal 2. svět. válku, po opuštění majiteli, hraběcím rodem Baillou, byl však vyrabován a během 50. let postupně zcela opuštěn. V roce 2001 byl převeden do vlastnictví obce, která od té doby intenzivně pracuje na jeho obnově. Za vidění stojí především nádvoří s už zrekonstruovanými jedinečnými arkádami s reliéfní výzdobou, z části práce italských kameníků, dále zámecká konírna fungující dnes jako obřadní a výstavní síň a téměř hotová obnova sgrafitové fasády západního křídla.
