The first residence on the site was founded by bishop Stanislas Thurzo in 1497. The building was in a Late Gothic style, with a modicum of Renaissance detail. During the Thirty Years' War, the castle was sacked by the Swedish army (1643).
It was not until 1664 that a bishop from the powerful Liechtenstein family charged architect Filiberto Lucchese with renovating the palace in a Baroque style. The chief monument of Lucchese's work in Kroměříž is the Pleasure Garden in front of the castle. Upon Lucchese's death in 1666, Giovanni Pietro Tencalla completed his work on the formal garden and had the palace rebuilt in a style reminiscent of the Turinese school to which he belonged.
After the castle was gutted by a major fire in March 1752, Bishop Hamilton commissioned two leading imperial artists, Franz Anton Maulbertsch and Josef Stern, arrived at the residence in order to decorate the halls of the palace with their works. In addition to their paintings, the palace still houses an art collection, generally considered the second finest in the country, which includes Titian's last mythological painting, The Flaying of Marsyas. The largest part of the collection was acquired by Bishop Karel in Cologne in 1673. The palace also contains an outstanding musical archive and a library of 33,000 volumes.

Tovačov Chateau

Jedná se o areál zámku s hospodářskými budovami bývalé sladovny, která vznikla asimilací a přestavbou starších vrchnostenských pivovarnických a sladovnických budov, vybudováním nové budovy s hvozdem a nové budovy amerických humen. Budovy sladovny uzavírají nádvoří zámku. Po stranách navazují na budovu zámku jednopodlažní budovy humen s klasicistními klenbami, s využitím půdního prostoru na sýpky, a sedlovou střechou krytou plechem. Zadní trakt tvoří pětipodlažní budova sýpek, místností na čištění a máčení, ke které byla příčně přistavěna pětipodlažní budova s hvozdem a komínem v roce 1912. Nová budova amerických humen pocházející také z roku 1912, je jednopodlažní s pultovou střechou a byla přistavěna k levému bočnímu křídlu starších humen a sýpek.
Vlastní areál zámku s budovami sladovny je hodnotným příkladem malého panského sídla, u kterého převládly účely hospodářské nad účelem obytným. Nová budova hvozdu s komínem z roku 1912, která se nachází na parcele číslo 123, není vedena jako kulturní památka, přestože je stavebně provázaná a dispozičně souvisí s pětipodlažní budovou sýpky.
Levá část patří obci, v současné době je zde bydlení pro sociálně slabší obyvatele. Starosta obce s projektem souhlasí a je ochoten s budoucím majitelem spolupracovat.

Rokytnice Chateau

The owner of the original Gothic castle became the Pernštejn family at the end of the 15th century. Přerov came into the possession of Karel the Elder of Žerotín at the turn of the 17th century, at which time the remodelling of the castle into a Renaissance Château culminated. The majority of the construction adaptations in the interiors and the exteriors of the château were finally carried out in the first half of the 19th century by Count Antonín Magnis and his son Vilém. The château was no longer used for housing purposes by the end of the 19th century. The château was taken over by the town of Přerov after the founding of Czechoslovakia which decided to adapt the château interiors for museum exhibitions and a depository. Comenius Museum was moved into the spaces of the château at the beginning of the 1930s and is used up until the present for museum purposes.

Přerov Chateau

Kurovice Castle, also called Kurowitz Castle, is located in Kurovice, in the Kroměříž District, Zlín Region, Czech Republic. It is one of the most important extant fortresses of the lower nobility in the Czech Republic.
The first buildings, in the 13th century, were probably mostly from wood. The oldest surviving walls are from the first half of the 15th century. The castle measures 30 by 20 metres (98 by 66 ft), and there were 3 levels tower and one level palace first. The buildings were protected by a double protective wall, with a wooden bridge over two moats, in place until the 20th century.
The main rebuildings were made by the noble Vrchlabsky family, between 1590 and the mid-16th century. Most of the architectural details from this period survive unchanged. One of the builders was Joachym Zoubek ze Zdetina (Joachym Zub ze Zdietina), who began work in the second half of the 16th century. His coat is still found in the top of one ceiling vault, with the text "JOACHIM ZVB ZE ZDIETINA A NA MOSSTIENICI KOMORNIK MENSSI ETC."[citation needed] The last meaningful reconstruction was made by Vaclav Eusebius Lobkowicz, who finished the 3rd floor of the building. In the 20th century, the castle was used as a block of flats. A restoration began in 1982, but was halted in 1990. As of 2006, the castle belongs to a private owner.
