Holiday apartment in Buchlovice: castle, garden and Moravian Baroque

Buchlovice combines Moravian Baroque architecture, a historic garden and a distinct local history. At its heart is Buchlovice Castle: it is one of the most important Baroque aristocratic residences in the Czech Republic and is also regarded as one of the most significant and highest-quality examples of Moravian Baroque architecture. In 1908, a meeting of the Russian and Austro-Hungarian foreign ministers took place at Buchlovice Castle under its patronage.

Culture and history

An important site for the history of the town is the Muzeum Podhradí. It is housed in a renovated building that formerly served as a manor barn. On the ground floor, an exhibition presents the fourteen municipalities of the Buchlov microregion. Another exhibition on the upper floor explores the history, folklore and lives of the former inhabitants of Buchlovice. The same museum thus brings together regional connections and the town’s recorded history.

Buchlovice’s historic architecture also includes the early Baroque Church of St. Martin. It was built between 1640 and 1643 on the site of an older church. The high altar features a valuable copy of a painting of Saint Martin by Van Dyck. The church tower has four bells dating from 1519, 1680, 1686 and 1754.

Nature

The castle grounds, park and garden in Buchlovice are among the most significant and best-preserved historic garden complexes in Bohemia and Moravia. The historic garden of Buchlovice Castle preserves elements of an Italian Baroque garden. The SmartGuide audio guide can be used for a tour of Buchlovice Castle Park. A special combination of garden culture and plants can be found in the castle nursery, where visitors can purchase a fuchsia variety of their choice with expert guidance.

Wellness

Buchlovice also includes the Lázně Leopoldov sulphur baths at Smraďavka. Lázně Leopoldov was founded in 1805 and offers its services not only to spa guests but also to other visitors. Alongside the castle, museum, church and garden, this provides another clearly defined part of the town with its own history and focus.
