About Bouzov Castle

...Bouzov Castle was built around the beginning of the 14th century, with the first known owner from 1317. Since the middle of 14th century until 1695 the castle changed hands several times. In 1695 Bouzov was obtained by an order of German knights, but they did not take proper care of it over the following 200 years. Not until the decision of the order grand master, archduke Eugenius, did radical reconstruction take place between the years 1896 and 1901. The project, which was designed by Professor George J. Hauberisser of the Munich Polytechnic University, was more or less respectful of the ground plan of old castle, but all similarity with the previous building finishes here.

The new structure, representing the late German Gothic style, abounds in projections, little towers as well as other, in relation to the rest of Czech architecture, very unusual elements. The castle as a whole, however, is an honored setting for film fairy tales.

A visit to Bouzov Castle will undoubtedly be a wonderful experience for lovers of romantic historical monuments. Between 1895 and 1909, the original Gothic castle was converted into a stately residence for the Great Master of the Order of the German Knights. The castle is a much sought-after location for filming fairy tales because of its majestic appearance and picturesque location amidst forests. The castle interiors stand out for their splendid collections of period furniture and applied art.

This truly unique castle is a perfect setting for your civil or Protestant wedding ceremony, and is also available for candlelight night weddings! We recommend returning to the historic town of Olomouc for your wedding reception and accommodation.
