The tourist area of the Moravian Karst and its environs rightfully boasts the designation “The region of seven chateaux and seven underground rivers”.
Boskovice Chateau, an elegant Empire-style building embellishing the town, is dutifully administered by the Mensdorff-Pouilly family. In addition to curious exhibits in the interior such as, for example, a copper globe with a representation of the sky, paintings on buffalo skins or small children’s theatre in the Rococo style from the British Queen, the exterior is remarkable as well. A beautifully groomed park with rare woody plants offers relaxation and a view of the town.
The northernmost stronghold of south Moravia is the chateau in Velké Opatovice, the courtyard of which features a unique structure. Under the orange roof and façade you will discover a giant plastic map of the lands of Moravia and Silesia covering an area of 100 sqm. The map was created in the early 20th century but it could not be displayed for its large size... it was only here that it was allowed to stand out in its entire beauty. The display is part of the collections of the Moravian Cartographic Centre that has its seat in the chateau.
Letovice Chateau, in turn, attracts visitors for unusual experiences. Are you looking for romanticism? Rent a chateau suite. Are you looking for an adrenaline rush? Spend a night at the bottom of the dungeon. And don’t forget to visit the beautiful park that surrounds the chateau.
