Buchlovice: Hotels, Baroque Castle and Historic Gardens
Buchlovice Castle is one of the most important Baroque aristocratic residences in the Czech Republic and is also considered one of the most significant and highest-quality examples of Moravian Baroque architecture. In 1908, a meeting of the Russian and Austro-Hungarian foreign ministers took place under its auspices at Buchlovice Castle.
Culture
At Muzeum Podhradí, the focus shifts from the castle architecture to the history of the locality. The museum is housed in a renovated building that formerly served as a manorial threshing floor. The ground floor of Muzeum Podhradí contains an exhibition about fourteen municipalities in the Buchlov microregion. The exhibition in the attic presents the history, folklore and lives of the former inhabitants of Buchlovice. The arrangement of the exhibitions on the ground floor and in the attic creates different focal points: downstairs, the microregion with its fourteen municipalities is at the centre; upstairs, the history of the locality and the lives of its former inhabitants take centre stage.
Garden
The castle grounds with their park and garden in Buchlovice are among the most significant and best-preserved historic garden complexes in Bohemia and Moravia.

The main altar of the Church of St Martin is adorned with a valuable copy of a painting of Saint Martin by Van Dyck. The tower of the Church of St Martin has four bells dating from 1519, 1680, 1686 and 1754.

When comparing hotels in Buchlovice, it is worth taking an objective look at the specific offer details before booking. Also pay attention to the booking and cancellation conditions. If travelling with several people, pay particular attention to whether the occupancy rules match the number of guests and whether additional costs are itemised separately. Also read the deadlines for changes or cancellation in full. When offers are structured differently, comparing the same fields makes the decision easier. This allows different offers to be compared on the basis of the same information. Deadlines and conditions for changes or cancellations should likewise be clearly stated. When travelling with several people, it is also advisable to take a close look at the applicable occupancy rules.
