Kroměříž Castle is a Baroque castle located in the town of Kroměříž in the eastern part of the Czech Republic. It was originally built as a Gothic castle in the 13th century, but underwent several renovations and expansions over the centuries, including a major reconstruction in the Baroque style in the 17th and 18th centuries.

The castle is known for its beautiful gardens, which were designed in the 17th century by Italian architect Filiberto Luchese. The gardens include formal French and Italian-style gardens, as well as an English-style park. The castle and its gardens were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1998.

The castle is also home to a number of important works of art and historical artifacts, including a collection of Flemish tapestries from the 17th century and a library containing more than 33,000 volumes, including many rare books and manuscripts. The castle is open to the public for guided tours, which allow visitors to explore the castle's many beautiful rooms and learn about its rich history and cultural significance.
