Chropyně 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

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.

Nezamyslice Chateau

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.

Kroměříž Castle
