Dear Steemit friends and followers,

Welcome to my Travel Tip series where I promote some of the most beautiful places, interesting landmarks and impressive architectural sites of my homeland, the Czech Republic.

Today, I will take you to a true hidden gem of the Olomoc Region in the Moravian part of the Czech Republic, the little known (yet very beautiful) Veselicko Chateau.

Located in the village of the same name (Veselicko) just outside the town of Prerov, the Veselicko Chateau is a majestic chateau built in the late Baroque architectural style. Designed by the renowned Moravian architect Mikulas Thalherr, the chateau has served many different purposes throughout the centuries, including a military hospital during the Napoleonic Wars. These days, the chateau is used as a foster home and it also houses a school and a beautifully decorated chapel.

Surrounded by well-maintained parks and gardens, the Veselicko Chateau is a certainly a place not to miss, especially if you are a fan of the Baroque architecture.
