Bouzov Castle
Hrad Bouzov
One of the Czech Republic's most picturesque fairy-tale castles, once a base of the Teutonic Order and the setting for several fairy-tale films.
Bouzov Castle was first built in the 14th century. Between 1895 and 1910, the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order remodeled it in a Romantic style, and today it is known for its forest of spires and richly painted interiors. It is one of the country's most popular castles, and many fairy-tale films were shot here. Several guided tour routes are available, with the basic route taking about an hour. In summer, there are medieval markets and knight performances. Tickets cost about 200 to 300 Czech crowns. The castle is about 30 km from Olomouc, roughly 40 minutes by car.
