Bruntál<br />
Chateau Bruntál with arcade court, surrounded by an adjacent park, is among the greatest l<strong>and</strong>marks of<br />
the town of Bruntál. The history of the chateau stretches back to the second half of the 15th century, when<br />
the chateau was founded by lords from Vrbno. Later it was rebuilt into an opulent renaissance chateau in<br />
a non-traditional part-circular shape. The present appearance came with the late-baroque reconstruction,<br />
which, however, preserved the renaissance arcades in the court <strong>and</strong> clock tower. So a unique combination<br />
of renaissance <strong>and</strong> baroque styles was developed.<br />
It includes a <strong>historical</strong> interior decorated by precious rococo mural wall paintings <strong>and</strong> lavishly furnished<br />
from the 18th <strong>and</strong> 19th centuries, in addition to the chateau gallery, hunting armoury <strong>and</strong> chateau<br />
library. Part of the chateau is used as a museum with an exhibition called “Nature of the Bruntál Region“<br />
<strong>and</strong> with portraits from the 19th century. The chateau is surrounded by a natural-l<strong>and</strong>scaped park with fine<br />
architecture <strong>and</strong> sculpture decorations.<br />
