Category: château

A fairy-tale baroque château perched on a rock above the confluence of the Dyje and Želetavka rivers, a jewel of European baroque. It offers a fairy-tale tour for families with children, led through grand ceremonial halls by a member of the Althann family. The château has two tour routes plus a viewing tower; a café operates in the grounds in summer, and a village car park 600 m away serves visitors.

Why visit this place?

• After the fire of 1665 the Althann family rebuilt the castle into a Baroque chateau to plans by Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach.
• Its architectural centrepiece is the Hall of Ancestors, 25 × 15 × 15 m, with a cupola fresco by Johann Michael Rottmayr.
• Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 5,115 visitors on Google Maps.
• Allow roughly an hour; the programme is aimed at lower primary, upper primary and secondary students.
• There are 20 more tips within 25 km, enough to build a full-day trip.
• The whole programme is indoors, so rain is not a problem.
