Čechy pod Kosířem Castle
The municipality is known for the Čechy pod Kosířem Castle. The original castle was built here in the 16th century. After it fell into disrepair, it was reconstructed in the 1820s. In 1839–1846, it was rebuilt into its current appearance in the Neoclassical, so-called "modernized Italian" style. Today there are several exhibitions of the Regional Museum in Olomouc.[5]
Even more important than the castle building is the castle park. It was founded in the 1820–1830s. It was adapted as a landscape area with a network of canals, footpaths and small architectural structures. Later, a brick tower with a battlement and a garden pavilion were added. The pavilion served the painter Josef Mánes as a studio, which visited the castle for more than twenty years and created his masterpieces. At the time of August Alexander Silva-Tarouca, today's terrain modeling of the park was created, including two ponds, and in 1853 an orangery was built next to the castle.[5]
