Raduň Chateau

There are chateaux that tower in the landscape and make you admire their noble origins. Raduň Chateau in the Opava region is one of those that are romantically located in the surrounding countryside. Its building with its typical tower is reflected in the calm water surface of the adjacent pond and attracts couples in love for walks...

No wonder then that the style in which the chateau is built is technically called Neo-Gothic Romanticism. Raduň is one of the most visited chateaux in the area, apart from the interiors, it also offers the opportunity to look into the orangery and walk through the beautiful chateau gardens with a forest park and a network of ponds. The chateau attracts with its strong history and superbly restored interior.

The original fortress was acquired by the Tvorkovsky family from Kravaře. The estate experienced its greatest boom when the Larisch-Mönnich family lived here and especially when the Prussian Prince Gebhard Blücher of Wahlstatt joined the family. The nobleman, whose grandfather went down in history by fighting Napoleon (not always successfully), made Radun an important seat of European nobility. The chateau took on its present form and became the summer residence of the Blüchers. They had their main residence during their stays in the region in the Blücher Palace in Opava, which is still one of the most valuable monuments of the city.

The chateau offers its visitors two sightseeing tours. The first shows the life of the nobility in the countryside and the second leads visitors directly to the private rooms of the Blücher family. Lovers of history and aristocratic mansions can continue to the chateau in Hradec nad Moravicí or to Kravaře. And perhaps the story of the Blücher family will entice them to visit Opava, as well.
