Kromeriz

Kroměříž Unmissables

Kroměříž is defined by its UNESCO-listed Baroque architecture and expansive horticultural design. The centerpiece is the Archbishop’s Palace, a former residence of Olomouc bishops, featuring a gallery of European paintings and a high lookout tower. The town’s heritage includes two distinct gardens: the formal French-style Flower Garden with its 244-meter colonnade and the vast English-style Palace Garden. Historic sites like the Baroque Church of St. John the Baptist and the central Plague Column complete the town's architectural ensemble.
