in traveltip •  7 years ago 

Dear Steemit friends and followers,

Welcome to my Travel Tip series where I promote some of the most beautiful places, interesting landmarks and impressive architectural sites of my homeland, the Czech Republic.

Today, I will take you to a true hidden gem of the Olomoc Region in the Moravian part of the Czech Republic, the little known (yet very beautiful) Veselicko Chateau.

Located in the village of the same name (Veselicko) just outside the town of Prerov, the Veselicko Chateau is a majestic chateau built in the late Baroque architectural style. Designed by the renowned Moravian architect Mikulas Thalherr, the chateau has served many different purposes throughout the centuries, including a military hospital during the Napoleonic Wars. These days, the chateau is used as a foster home and it also houses a school and a beautifully decorated chapel.

Surrounded by well-maintained parks and gardens, the Veselicko Chateau is a certainly a place not to miss, especially if you are a fan of the Baroque architecture.

I've heard of Baroque architecture. But I do not know where he came from. Good post

Many color contrasts can be seen there, yellow, red, green and blue sky. It really makes it a great place to visit at. It seems a calming place as there is a lot of greenery which will surely refresh your mind.

Such a brilliant building. Nothing like that will I see here in South Texas, USA ,that's for sure :)
