The 7 most beautiful castles in Moravia: A journey into the Moravian nobility

Moravia is the treasure trove of elegant residences in the Czech Republic. While Bohemia is often known for its fortified castles, the east of the country captivates with its Baroque symmetry, expansive parks, and unparalleled luxury. Here are our top 7 castle highlights.

🌟 UNESCO tip: The Lednice-Valtice garden area

This area is known as the “Garden of Europe”. Lednice and Valtice Castles are connected by a 200 km² cultural landscape – a globally unique Gesamtkunstwerk (total work of art) created by the Liechtenstein family.

1. Lednice Castle (Eisgrub) – The Fairytale Castle

With its delicate neo-Gothic facades, Lednice looks like something out of a Disney movie set. The enormous palm house and the hand-carved spiral staircase in the library, made from a single tree trunk, are particularly impressive.

2. Valtice Castle (Feldsberg) – The Residence of Wine

Valtice was the main seat of the Liechtenstein family. The Baroque castle is now the center of Moravian winemaking. In the castle cellar is the “Salon of Wines,” where you can taste the 100 best wines of the Czech Republic.

3. Archbishop’s Castle Kroměříž (Kremsier)

This UNESCO World Heritage Site is famous for its palace gardens and pleasure gardens. The magnificent halls have even served as filming locations for Hollywood directors (e.g., for…). Amadeus) as a backdrop.

4. Vranov nad Dyjí Castle (Frain an der Thaya)

Spectacularly situated on a rock above the Thaya River, this castle offers one of the most dramatic views in the Czech Republic. The baroque “Ancestral Hall” is a masterpiece of European art history.

5. Jaroměřice nad Rokytnou Castle – The Moravian Versailles

This enormous Baroque palace with its striking domed church is a monumental example of Baroque joie de vivre. It is closely linked to musical history and provides a stunning backdrop for concerts in the summer.
