Citov 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.

Tovačov Chateau

The castle was probably established at the end of the 13th century by the marauding knight Friduš (or Helfrid) of Linava who used the castle as a base for robbing merchants during the unsettled times that followed the murder of Wenceslas III, the last Přemyslide, in 1306. As Friduš's escapades could not be ignored, young King John of Luxemburg sent his troops to deal with the bandits. Although Friduš perished, he gave his name to the castle.[1] At the turn of the 14th century the Kravař family acquired it, after which it became the center of their extensive estates. During the 14th and the beginning of the 15th century the castle was remodelled as a Gothic fortress. The Lords of Kravař owned the castle until 1447, and it was then held mostly by a number of Moravian noble families, among them the Sovinec family, the Kostek of Postupice family, the Pernštejn, the Ludanice and the Vrbno family.[2] This unassailable structure withstood a number of sieges. It was an important Hussite bastion against the German catholic town of Olomouc and also acted in support of King George of Poděbrady against the Hungarian King Mathias Corvin who was unable to defeat the king's troops and capture the fortress in 1468.[2] Not even the Swedes and the Danes succeeded in capturing it during the Thirty Years' War.

Helfštýn Castle

It is characteristic for its sophisticated imitations of French chateaux enhanced by the influence of Moravian Baroque. It has a typical layout, i.e. four wings around the courtyard. It is surrounded by a round park covering the total area of 2.5 hectares. In the centre of the park there is the Chateau with four roads leading to all cardinal points. The roads are lined by lime trees. Besides others the Chateau’s pride is an extensive collection of ceremonial carriages that belonged to bishops and archbishops of Olomouc.
In the park we can find majestic trees, to name just some copper beech or nowadays very popular ginco biloba. The last significant changes in the park were done under the supervision of the garden architect Křemen in 1925. This property belongs to the most important ones in Moravia. Besides interesting trees there is a colonnade, cast-iron pavilion and swimming pool.
In 1726 the Náměšť estate was bought by the Harrach’s that belonged to significant families in the Habsburg Empire. Then they used the so-called “Lower Chateau” as their seat. After the 7-year war ended (exactly on 01/03/1766) Ferdinand Bonaventura started building a new chateau close to the ruins of the medieval castle. This new summer seat is built in the early Clacissist style and the inspiration from French chateaux is obvious. At the same time the round park around the Chateau was founded. From the Chateau there are roads leading to all cardinal points. The roads are lined by lime trees. On the periphery of the back half-circle there were built 17 houses for weavers – plots run in radiants into the space. Such a settlement is very unusual and it is unique in our country. The new chateau is also known as the “Upper Chateau” and the old one is called the “Lower Chateau”.
