Zámek Plumlov

Location: Zámek 1, 798 03 Plumlov · Olomouc Region

Category: castle / château

A unique unfinished baroque château above the Plumlov reservoir near Prostějov — one of the most extraordinary architectural gems of Moravia. The four-storey castle tower rising above the reservoir is an iconic sight. Guided tours lead through baroque interiors with rich décor, and the views from the tower are unforgettable.

Why visit this place?

• Prince Karel Eusebius designed the new building himself as an amateur architect; construction began in 1680, but interior work stopped for good in 1690 and the top floor was left unfinished.
• A windstorm damaged the neighbouring old castle in 1801 and its owner had it demolished.
• More than 2,500 people have left a Google review here, making it one of the most visited places on the map.
• Allow roughly an hour and a quarter; the programme is aimed at lower primary, upper primary and secondary students.
• There are 64 more tips within 25 km, enough to build a full-day trip.
• The whole programme is indoors, so rain is not a problem.
