Chateau Bruntál with arcade court, surrounded by an adjacent park, is among the greatest landmarks of the town of Bruntál. The history of the chateau stretches back to the second half of the 15th century, when the chateau was founded by lords from Vrbno. Later it was rebuilt into an opulent renaissance chateau in a non-traditional part-circular shape. The present appearance came with the late-baroque reconstruction, which, however, preserved the renaissance arcades in the court and clock tower. So a unique combination of renaissance and baroque styles was developed.
It includes a historical interior decorated by precious rococo mural wall paintings and lavishly furnished from the 18th and 19th centuries, in addition to the chateau gallery, hunting armoury and chateau library. Part of the chateau is used as a museum with an exhibition called “Nature of the Bruntál Region“ and with portraits from the 19th century. The chateau is surrounded by a natural-landscaped park with fine architecture and sculpture decorations.
