The Valtice Chateau

Valtice Chateau is a remarkable 12th-century baroque structure and the former seat of the Liechtenstein family.

Founded in the 12th century, the château stands as a testament to the architectural genius of JB Fischer von Erlach and Domenico Martinelli. Its historical significance lies in its connection to the Liechtenstein family, who fled during the 1945 Soviet advances, leaving behind lavish decorations and furnishings. Visitors can explore around 20 opulently appointed rooms, with some featuring walls adorned with gold plaster.
