Bouzov Castle is a medieval castle in the Olomouc Region of the Czech Republic, originally established in the 14th century. It is noted for its preserved fortifications and historic castle silhouette above the village of Bouzov.
The castle complex includes fortified walls, multiple towers, inner courtyards and a gatehouse with a drawbridge, giving visitors a compact experience of castle architecture and defensive design. Guided interior tours typically cover the representative ceremonial rooms and period furnishings.
Construction began in the 14th century and the site passed through several noble owners and institutional hands over subsequent centuries. Major changes to the fabric and interiors occurred at various times, reflecting repairs and restoration work rather than a single modern rebuilding campaign.
The castle sits on a hill just above the village of Bouzov in central Moravia, within the Olomouc Region. It stands in a mixed agricultural and forested landscape, approximately in the central part of the Czech Republic.
