Velké Heraltice Castle, Baroque castle in Velké Heraltice, Czech Republic

The castle features a massive cylindrical tower, two courtyards, and multiple wings surrounded by an extensive English-style park covering 6.08 hectares.

Originally constructed between 1255 and 1265 by Vojslav of Lublice, the fortress transformed into a baroque residence under Count Georg Stephan von Würben in the 1670s.

The castle interiors and chapel showcase the work of sculptor Andreas Anrath, demonstrating the architectural preferences of Silesian nobility in the 17th century.

The castle currently houses an educational institution and social service center, managed by the Moravian-Silesian Region as a registered cultural monument since 1964.

The castle grounds include a preserved 150-year-old tree collection and two distinct park levels extending from stone walls to Heraltice Creek.
