CHATEAUX
ODRA RIVER BASIN
The renaissance chateau in the centre of Nový Jičín
was built in the 16th century in the location
of the town castle. After the departure of the Žerotíns
the building was adapted to the town-hall,
which is a landmark of Nový Jičín centre.
The Museum of Nový Jičín Region with
an exhibition on the development of hat fashions
and town history is located there. Eminent
celebrities´ hats (e.g. A. Jirásek, F. Palacký) are
also among the exhibits. Regular museum exhibitions
also take place in the historical halls of
the chateau.

The structures of the old and new chateau
are among protected cultural monuments
in Studénka. The renaissance chateau, the
so-called Old Chateau, originated with the
reconstruction of the gothic fortress from
the beginning of the 15th century. A baroque
chateau, the so-called New Chateau,
was built in the vicinity in the mid-18th
century. Both buildings were later adapted
to neogothic style.
On the premises of the New Chateau
there is the unique Wagon Museum with an
operating railway line. A stylish ceremonial
hall and library are also located there.
