Slavkov Castle

|
Building of the Slavkov Castle started in the very early 18th Century and took over 60 years to complete. The castle was designed by Domenico Martinelli for the Kaunitz family. A majority of the sculpture work was done by Goivanni Giuliani and the interiors and frescoes were done by Andrey Lanzani along with Santino Bussi. The central hall and the chapel have interesting paintings by the artist J Pichler dating from the 1760s.
Slavkov Castle is done up in baroque style and the castle's main claim to fame is that Napoleon stayed here. Many of the rooms have exhibits on Napoleon and the Battle of Austerlitz.
