Description

Vizovice Chateau is located in the middle of the town of Vizovice, about 15 km from the town of Zlín. It was built in the second half of the 18th century on the foundations of an older monastery, on the initiative of the Bishop of Hradec Králové, Heřman Hannibal Blümegen, to a design by František Antonín Grimm. In the 19th and 20th centuries it belonged to the Stillfried family. In 2001 the chateau was included among the national cultural monuments. It is owned by the state and administered by the National Heritage Institute. It is open to the public.
