- Baroque Chateau (state rooms and historic interiors) — Big, ornate rooms that feel lived-in rather than museum-clean: frescoed ceilings, carved wood, and period furniture that tell the story of the archbishops who ran this place. Great for poking around if you like architecture and atmospherics without needing a PhD.
- The Picture Gallery (old masters collection) — One of the surprise gems: a compact, high-quality collection of European paintings from the 16th-18th centuries. The gallery’s size makes it easy to enjoy without museum-fatigue, and the walls are filled with works that actually matter historically and visually.
- Flower Garden — Květná zahrada — Personal favorite. This is the reason people take the train to Kroměříž: a perfectly geometric Baroque garden with pergolas, statues,

- Flower Garden — Květná zahrada — Personal favorite. This is the reason people take the train to Kroměříž: a perfectly geometric Baroque garden with pergolas, statues, fountains, a little maze and an amphitheatre. It’s theatrical in a charming, slightly over-the-top way, and it smells like flowers in spring. Great place to linger with a cheap snack.
- Podzámecká Garden (the Castle Park) — A relaxed English-style landscape that’s a nice contrast to the formal Flower Garden. Think long tree-lined alleys, ponds and rolling lawns — perfect for a picnic, an easy walk, or watching locals stroll their dogs.
- Greenhouses / Orangerie — If it’s gloomy outside, head here. The glasshouses shelter palms and exotic plants and give a surprising tropical feeling in the middle of Moravian weather. Small, atmospheric and a good spot for photos.
- Sculptures, fountains and the theatrical garden architecture — Scattered marble figures, carefully staged viewpoints and water features are more than decoration; they’re part of the original Baroque narrative design. Walk the axes slowly and you’ll see how the gardens were meant to surprise and frame views.
- Seasonal events and the local vibe — The chateau and gardens host concerts, exhibitions and occasional open-air performances during the warmer months. Even if you don’t catch an event, the place has a friendly, local atmosphere that’s easy on a budget: bring food, sit, and enjoy the scene.
