Vizovice: baroque chateau featuring a garden and park

In the middle of the 18th century, Heřman Hannibal of Blümengen had a chateau built in Vizovice in the then modern French Baroque style. Today, you can see the interiors furnished with furniture from the Baroque, Rococo, Empire and Biedermeier periods with lots of porcelain and a number of paintings. You must not forget to visit the French formal garden featuring sculptural decorations, an English landscape park with a pond and small museum that maps the more than 400-year-long history of distilling plum brandy in Vizovice.
