- AMIA778Seville, Spain1,565 contributionsWOW! What a magnificent castle, impressive exterior & splendid interior too! I visited as a day-trip from Olomouc by local buses -- bus 302 at Olomouc main train station, connect to bus 303 at "Litovel, Palackeho", get off at last stop "Bouzov, nam. Under 10 min walk to castle. Reverse the buses on the return trip, under 2 hr each way with scenic view.
The castle interior can only be visited on guided tour in CZ in small group, I was provided with a English brochure with good description of every room. All the rooms are splendid & well-furnished. Of the dozens of European castles from the same historic period I had already visited, Hrad Bouzov would rank in the top 3 without any doubt. Mobility-limited visitor should come prepared for stairs. Sit-down meal/beverage/WC available on castle grounds.Written September 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I loved photos that were taken when there was still corona, they hung them inside - the photos show people believing in it getting better and wanting to feel closer to god even though it was difficult-. The cathedral is a beautiful place and an old mister that was so generous to show us this place, explained the history of this place. Beautiful visit.Written August 20, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- SLRHarrogate, UK98 contributionsThis church is huge and the decoration inside is stunning. Built on top of a hill overlooking the valley and Olomouc you can look back and see the pilgrim road.

On the one hand with its simple exterior, on the other hand with its viewing platform at the top. Inside is the organ of the best sound in the whole Czech Republic.

- PavlaPavlaChrudim, Czech Republic7,538 contributionsI liked this new fountain, which was created in 2002 as part of the reconstruction of the Upper Square. Especially two big turtles were very nice. One of them was situated in the water, but the second one was located next to the fountain, much to the delight of children that could climb or sat on it. There were quite a lot of benches around and people sat there, relaxed and enjoyed watching the fountain.Written June 20, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Marek BocanekBrno, Czech Republic402 contributionsIf you want to understand the era of witchhunting from the end of 17th century, you're at the right place. Otherwise, you can enjoy also beautiful castle with preserved stuff from the Zerotin/Zierotin house (Czech nobility).Written July 7, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Beatrix TBrno, Czech Republic290 contributionsI only saw the building from the outside during a walk by the river and in the outskirts of Olomouc, but it was already impressive enough.

- Luci B2 contributionsAmazing industrial piece of human work and skill in the middle of the resilient nature. Must have taken loads of effort to built and run it in this rough enviroment. Great panoramatic views of the surrounding peaks. Accessible on foot (as we did) or by chairlift and shuttle bus (opening hours on the web).Written September 14, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
