Buchlovice Castle, Baroque château in Buchlovice, Czech Republic

Buchlovice Castle is a baroque château in Buchlovice in the Zlín Region, about 11 km from Uherské Hradiště. It consists of two facing buildings: the Lower Château, used for representation and housing the count's family, and the Upper Château, called Flora, which served economic purposes. A courtyard with a central fountain lies between them, and the Lower Château's ground floor holds a sala terrena with stucco decoration and mosaic ornaments.

Jan Dětřich of Petřvald had the castle built for his wife Eleonora of Colonna-Fels, who found nearby Buchlov Castle too cold; the tale is a legend. The Italian-style baroque villa was completed in 1707, and the Berchtolds held it from 1800 until nationalisation in 1945. Architect Dominik Fey gave it its present form in the first two decades of the 20th century.

The Lower Château's ground floor holds a sala terrena beneath the main hall, its walls covered in stucco decoration and mosaic ornaments. The interiors keep original stucco ceilings and are furnished in turn-of-the-20th-century historicist style. The castle also holds a collection of Italian, French and Dutch prints, including engravings by Lucas van Leyden and sheets by Rembrandt.

The castle stands in Buchlovice in the Zlín Region, about 11 km from Uherské Hradiště. The complex has two opposite buildings, the Lower and Upper Château, with a courtyard and central fountain between them, plus a terraced park of almost 19 ha. The interiors are shown on guided tours; the park holds a seasonal fuchsia exhibition, a bird-of-prey breeding station and a wine cellar.

On 15–16 September 1908, Count Leopold II Berchtold hosted a secret meeting at the castle between Austrian foreign minister Alois Aehrenthal and Russian foreign minister Alexander Izvolsky. The resulting Buchlau Agreement preceded Austria-Hungary's annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina within days.
