Kroměříž - Introduction

"City of gardens, squares and spires, the river Morava gently washing your flank..." – these poetic words characterise this hospitable town with its majestic monumental buildings, a town full of traditions and present. The dominant feature is the chateau, for centuries the summer residence of the Olomouc bishops and archbishops, with its gardens – Podzámecká and Květná. Due to its indisputable historical and artistic importance it was declared a national cultural monument together with the Japanese city of Kyoto, and in 1998 was entered in the UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage List.

Gardens and castle

The castle was built on earlier foundations in the 17th century and represents a uniquely-preserved Central European baroque princely residence. Its neighbouring gardens include the Podzamecká garden under the castle in a natural English-style landscape and the early baroque Flower Gardens.
