Bruntál Chateau

Few castles offer visitors as many original interiors, furnishings and rococo paintings as Bruntál Chateau.

Moreover, unlike other Czech chateaux, it has an unusual layout in the shape of a circular section with a Renaissance arcaded courtyard and a clock tower. All this makes Bruntál Chateau one of the most important buildings of its kind in Silesia.

During the tour of the chateau you will visit, for example, the chapel, the audience hall, the chateau library and, of course, the chambers, salons and the cabinet of Archduke Eugene – the last Grand Master of the Order of German Knights of the House of Habsburg. It was the Order that owned the chateau for centuries and thanks to them we can admire a rare collection of works by Dutch, German and Italian masters in the chateau gallery.

In the halls of the oldest part of the chateau, the so-called Old Palace, there is a museum exhibition on the nature of the Bruntál region and an exhibition of crafts and trades of the Bruntál region. Around the chateau there is a large park with a salla terena building, the remains of the city walls with bastions and a pond.

For another part of the story of the area, you can go to Sovinec Castle, for example, or if you want to learn more about rural life, head to the historic scythe workshop in Karlovice.
