Zámek Boskovice, Empire-style château in Boskovice, Czech Republic.
Description
Zámek Boskovice is an Empire-style château positioned on a hillside at the southern edge of town, featuring a large main hall that spans two floors and displays Dutch paintings. The building is surrounded by French-English style gardens and contains an extensive library with numerous historical volumes.
History
The château was built in 1819 by Franz Joseph von Dietrichstein on the site of a former Dominican monastery that had been closed during the Josephine reforms. The new construction rose from the foundations of the earlier religious building, marking a transformation of the location.

The château displays period furnishings and artworks that show how aristocratic families lived and what they valued. Visitors can see personal objects and decorations that reflect the tastes of those who occupied these rooms.
Practical
The location is accessible to visitors and offers guided tours through the main rooms and gardens. Comfortable shoes are recommended since the hillside setting and garden grounds require some walking.
