Bouzov Castle Attractions
Do not let the town's Nazi past deter you from visiting the Bouzov Castle. Just 3.5km / 2mi from the small town that bears its name, this castle will impress even the most castle weary tourist. Before beginning your tour, be sure to climb the 61m / 200 ft tower to get a great overview of the layout of the castle.
Bouzov Castle was first begun in and around the 12th Century and completed approximately 17 years later. The castle fell into disrepair throughout the 17th and 18th Centuries until late in the 19th Century when Archduke Eugenius ordered its renovation. Over a five year span the castle was completely renovated into late German Gothic style. Well endowed with multiple towers, balconies, and even a drawbridge, the castle has a fairytale appearance. Inside, the castle is lavishly appointed with beautiful antique furniture, chandeliers, and interesting decorations on the walls. It was this high level of comfort which attracted the Nazis to Bouznov during World War Two. During the war, the occupiers took over the castle and lived in luxury while the people suffered.
