Holesov Castle is an early Baroque building standing in a park cut by a network of water canals. It is currently without equipment, but you can see beautiful stucco decorations of the walls and ceilings, as well as ceiling paintings and stucco. An astronomical observatory is also open for visitors, followed by a guide in period clothing.
Holesov Castle is located in Moravia, which in the 17th century was one of the favorite settlements of the Czech and Austrian nobility. It stands on the site of a Gothic watchtower and a Renaissance manor house destroyed during the Thirty Years' War. The castle was owned by the Rottall family, which was one of the famous Czech patrons of art and culture.
The castle is a four-wing structure, on a rectangular plan with an internal courtyard. Polygonal towers were placed in the corners. The building is covered with high, broken mansard roofs.
The interiors are devoid of original furniture. Valuable stucco and stucco decorations were saved, as well as some wall paintings. The rooms are currently rented for congresses and parties. A music club operates in the basement. The garden next to the castle was designed in a French style. It was cut with water channels forming the trident shape. The French garden then changes into a romantic English park with many secluded alleys.
