Milotice Castle

Milotice Castle, built in the Baroque style, is located in the city of Milotice. The history of the castle, judging by the mentions in the documents, originates in the XIV century, with the construction of a fortress on this site. During the Renaissance, the fortress was rebuilt into a residential castle. And, despite the numerous subsequent reconstructions, the architectural appearance of the castle has not changed significantly, you can see the pronounced details of the buildings of that era.

But, the final appearance of the castle took in the second half of the XVII century. Four corner towers were added, which are a continuation of the conventional axes from the central courtyard of the castle. At the end of the Thirty Years War, Gabriel Sereni became the owner of the castle and the Sereni family owned the castle until the beginning of the XIX century. Count Karl Anton Sereni, in the first half of the XVIII century, starts the reconstruction of the castle, which lasts until 1743.

However, in the history of the castle a lot of white spots, primarily due to the fact that the entire archive is stored in Munich. All the property of the last owner of the castle, according to the decree of President Benes, was confiscated before the Second World War. In 1948 the castle was opened to the public.

Nowadays, the castle has become a venue for concerts of classical and folk music, Christmas holidays, as well as various exhibitions. In the summer, theatrical productions can be seen in the park, and wedding ceremonies are often held in the greenhouse.
