Konice Castle, Baroque château in Konice, Czech Republic
Konice Castle is a baroque château located in the center of the town of Konice in the Czech Republic. The building displays symmetrical facades with large rectangular windows and thick stone walls that reflect the classical design of its era.
The building evolved from a medieval fortress but was fundamentally transformed in 1705 when a monastery acquired the property and carried out extensive reconstructions. This conversion brought about the characteristic baroque form it possesses today.
The castle functions today as a venue for local exhibitions and cultural programs that showcase the region's past and its people. Visitors can feel the connection between the building and the lives of those who lived in Konice.
The castle sits in central Konice along Kostelní street and is easily reached on foot. Regular guided tours operate during opening hours and provide access to the rooms and their stories.
The collections inside hold furniture pieces from the period when the Příza family owned and inhabited the estate from 1825 to 1945. These furnishings give visitors a direct window into the daily lives of former inhabitants.
