Plumlov Chateau, Baroque château in Plumlov, Czech Republic.
Plumlov Chateau is a Baroque château in the Moravian landscape that rises above a water reservoir, featuring an unfinished three-story structure with multiple wings extending from the main building. The structure displays both completed rooms and numerous unfinished sections that remain in their original raw state from centuries past.
Construction began in the 17th century but the building was never completed as originally planned. During the 19th century it was converted into offices for the district court, a function that shaped its later history.
The château reflects how the nobility lived during the Baroque era through its few furnished rooms and architectural design. Visitors can see the regional interpretation of grand living across the building's various spaces.
Visitors can explore the building through guided tours that cover all levels including basement areas, though access to the attic sections requires special arrangements in advance. The site sits above water and offers views of the surrounding landscape from its elevated position.
Most visitors overlook the construction marks and material patterns visible in the unfinished walls, which reveal different building phases across centuries. These raw surfaces show choices made by successive builders and remain largely unchanged since they were left incomplete.
