Many famous Czech fairy tails has been shot at this castle or around this area. The surrounding area is very picturesque, wonderful green fields and woods around. It is a great place for a day trip. I would recommend a warm spring or sunny summer day.

Bouzov castle is the largest and most impressive castle in Moravia, and one of the nicest castles I have seen in the Czech republic. The castle is a must-see if you visit the Olomouc region.

It looks like a fairytale castle, thus loved by kids, and given it was still inhabited in the 20th century, it is nicely preserved and you can actually see how everyday life in the castle looked like.

This castle look nice and romantic from outside, but even inside is worth to see. There is lot of old furniture, weapons, artefacts.

The Bouzov castle looks like castles in fairytales of your childhood. High tower, wooden bridges, nice halls and wooden decorated interiors. Many film directors used this castle as perfect place for their fairytales.

I was there already several times. Always I spent there fine time. Go inside to see the castle and rooms. It will cost you small many and some hours (1-2). From architectural point also nice.
