Culture and History
Bruntál Chateau was transformed from a late Gothic castle into a Renaissance chateau at the end of the 16th century. The publicly accessible interiors include a chapel and rooms on the first floor with Rococo wall paintings and original furnishings. The chateau houses the permanent exhibitions Nature of the Bruntál Region and Craft Has a Golden Bottom. The latter exhibition at the Bruntál Museum presents crafts and trades in the Bruntál region in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Exhibits include a shoemaker's workshop, a tailor's workshop, and a grocery store; interactive stations feature gingerbread spices, craft tools, and an anvil.
Bruntál Chateau Park preserves remnants of the town walls, a sala terrena, a bastion, and eleven sculptures. Exhibitions on the history of the castle are located in reconstructed parts of Sovinec Castle; from the main tower, visitors can enjoy views over Sovinec Nature Park.
