Vranov nad Dyjí Castle, Baroque château in Vranov nad Dyjí, Czech Republic
The castle stands on a steep rock formation above the Thaya River, featuring a grand oval hall with a central cupola and ornate decorations.
First documented in 1100 as a border sentry castle, the structure underwent extensive Baroque renovations by the Althann family between 1680 and 1700.
The Hall of Ancestors displays large statues and allegorical paintings representing the Althann family lineage through architectural and artistic elements.
The castle offers guided tours through multiple circuits, including the Hall of Ancestors, Chapel of the Holy Trinity, and period furnished chambers.
The castle housed a significant earthenware manufacturing facility from 1790 to 1882, producing ceramics influenced by wedgwood designs.
