Kroměříž Archbishop’s Palace and Gardens

Why visit

A Baroque archiepiscopal residence paired with formal and landscaped gardens in central Moravia. The palace became a major residence of the bishops and archbishops of Olomouc, while its gardens preserve exceptional Baroque and later landscape design recognised by UNESCO. It is included because it adds a distinctive experience to a realistic Kroměříž or regional itinerary rather than acting as a filler stop.

What you will see

• Palace state rooms.
• Flower Garden geometry.
• Castle Garden landscapes.
