Skalička Chateau

Ruins of a castle likely from the 13th century that earlier guarded the trade route through the Třebůvka River valley; the site is shrouded in mystery even for historians as there are no traces of a building, there is a massive wall protecting one side but no side walls, etc. A Slavic settlement from the 10th and 11th centuries originally stood on the site. According to one version of history the castle, as the residence of a marauding knight, was razed by troops of Czech King Václav II in 1286, along with the nearby Hřebeč, Mladějov, Hoštejn, Žichlínek and Hradisko u Moravské Třebové castles. The castle was favourably situated on a promontory over the river, had a large fore-castle area, and was protected by a 9 metre wide moat and rampart. A second castle moat was carved directly from the rock; behind it are remnants of a gabled 2.8 metre wide castle wall.

Bouzov Castle is an early 14th-century fortress first mentioned in 1317. It was built on a hill between the village of Hvozdek and the town of Bouzov, 21 kilometres (13 mi) west of Litovel and 28 kilometres (17 mi) northwest of Olomouc, in Moravia, Czech Republic.

Bouzov Castle

It is one of the oldest North Moravian castles built in the style of a French castel. It was partly rebuilt into a chateau at the end of the 17th century. In 1898, the original owners of the castle, the family of Lichtenstein, founded a Museum for Forestry and Hunting, which contains a unique collection of its kind in Central Europe.
At the museum you can see a collection of trophies from the Liechtenstein’s African expeditions. A collection of trophies of local birds and mammals can be seen as well.
Other attractions include a collection of quaint poachers' guns and hunting rifles. Paintings by an academic painter Lubomír Bartoš are on display in the Gallery. Exhibitions take place in the exhibition spaces during the main season.

Tatenice Chateau

The Moravská Třebová Castle, which belongs among the most significant Renaissance monuments in Central Europe, was built on the site of a former castle built in the 13th century. In 2005, extensive reconstruction of the castle grounds was completed, which took a total of ten years and thus the castle has once again opened its gates to visitors in all of its glory.
Apart from classic exhibitions in Moravská Třebová Chateau, do not miss the medieval torture chamber, which is the largest of its kind in the Czech Republic. Here you can experience the atmosphere of an execution chamber and try various torture instruments and means of punishment from medieval times. Another interesting exhibition with interactive features which you have to visit is the alchemistical laboratory of Master Bonacin, where perhaps you can prepare an elixir of eternal youth with a bit of luck.
You can complete your visit to the castle by relaxing in the stylish café and then continue to discover the beauty of Moravska Třebova by taking a stroll through the conservation area in the centre of the town.

Plankenberk Castle

A stronghold was established in the place probably in the 1570s. The founder was Jan z Boskovic. After The Battle of White Mountain, the Bludov Manor was confiscated and given to Kryštof Pavel z Lichtenštejna who rebuilt the stronghold as a late Renaissance château. Later, the château was baroquely modified.
In 1710, Bludovský zámek was sold to the House of Žerotín, who owns the château till today. Bludovský zámek became Žerotín’s permanent residence when Karel Ludvík, the house member, sold Velké Losiny château in 1802 because of financial problems. Žerotin’s library, picture gallery, archives, and a collection of weapons were moved as well.
Although House of Žerotin was Czech noble, they registered as Germans during the Nazi occupation, therefore the castle was confiscated in 1945, but in 1950, the then Regional national committee in Brno returned Czech citizenship to Helena Zerotinova, arguing that she acted under the pressure of occupation during the war.
Château rooms were used as a post office, library and municipal office during the communist dictatorship, therefore some rooms were reconstructed to fit more its new purpose; unfortunately reconstructions did not respect late Renaissance and baroque character of building.
The château was returned to Slovak stem of house of Žerotín during the 1990s. The Slovak stem is called the house of Mornstein-Zierotin.
The public library was moved to a Bludov School, the municipal office was moved to another school’s building. The post office was moved to a local shopping centre.

Bludov Chateau

The original Renaissance fortress from 1513 underwent Renaissance reconstruction shortly thereafter in 1541. In the 18th century the Libštein family from Kolovraty rebuilt the fortress into a Baroque chateau. Starting in 1879 the building was owned by Prince Lamoral Thurn Taxis, whose son was murdered in Biskupice in 1945.
