Overview

Chateau Park Buchlovice is an expansive 19-hectare landscaped garden designed in the Italian Baroque style, surrounding the 17th-century Buchlovice Chateau. The site is notable for its collection of rare tree species, including ancient Ginkgo biloba and Liriodendron tulipifera. The garden layout features geometric parterres, sculptural fountains, and symmetrical hedges typical of Mediterranean garden architecture. It serves as a botanical sanctuary with a significant population of peacocks that roam the grounds. The park serves as a transition zone between the formal courtyards of the chateau and the surrounding natural forest landscape. It is recognized as one of the most significant historic garden complexes in the Czech Republic.
