Main image

Buchlovice Castle is a Baroque chateau and landscaped estate in the Zlín Region of the Czech Republic. It was built as a noble residence and is noted for its ornate interior decoration and planned gardens.

The site pairs the Baroque chateau with a formal French garden and an English park, creating contrasting garden styles and sightlines from the house. Guided tours typically cover representative state rooms and the landscaped grounds.

The chateau was constructed as a residential complement to the much older hilltop Buchlov Castle, reflecting changing tastes from fortification to comfort and display among regional nobility. Over time the interiors and gardens have been restored to reflect their historical appearance.

Buchlovice lies in southern Moravia, set in a rural landscape of rolling hills and woodlands, and is closely associated with the neighbouring hilltop Buchlov Castle.

  • Two nearby castles: Located below the older medieval Buchlov Castle, the site presents both a hilltop fortress and a lowland Baroque residence in close proximity.

Tips for Visiting Buchlovice Castle #

  • Check the castle's guided-tour schedule before you go and arrive early to catch an English-language tour-interior access is typically by guided visit only in high season.
  • Combine your visit with nearby Buchlov Castle on the hill (a short drive) to see both the Baroque chateau and the medieval fortress in one outing; many visitors see only one.
  • Don't skip the formal gardens and the small chapel adjacent to the palace; they contain decorative details and views that don't feature on the standard photo route.
