The three-day program in the Central Moravia region is focused on the residences of the Liechtenstein family, which arrived in Moravia in the 13th century. The family lived in Central Moravia beginning in the 16th century and owned several important buildings in the area. These include chateaux in Bučovice, Plumlov and Úsov, and Šternberk Castle.
Bučovice Chateau is a unique Italian Renaissance building that features rich Mannerist interiors and a beautiful fountain in the courtyard. Úsov Chateau, where the Liechtensteins founded a hunting-forestry museum, boasts a remarkable collection of hunting trophies from the family's African safaris. Plumlov Chateau, towering over the local reservoir, will certainly impress visitors with it monumental character, despite the fact that the final appearance designed for the building was never completed. Originally a Gothic building, Šternberk Castle underwent Renaissance renovations in the 16th century. The Liechtensteins did not acquire the castle until around the year 1699. Despite being unused for a long period of time, general reconstruction of the castle created a luxurious residence that served Liechtenstein aristocrats until the end of the Second World War.
The Plumlov reservoir and its surroundings offer ideal conditions for summer sports (swimming, sailing, windsurfing, fishing, ball sports, miniature golf).
The Olomouc Town Monument Reservation is the best preserved urban centre in Moravia. The most significant moments of the country's spiritual, artistic and social development are reflected in the town's thousand year history. With a height of 35 m, the Holy Trinity Column is one of the tallest in the country and has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List since the year 2000.
Lush parks and medieval walls surround St. Wenceslas Cathedral with the highest tower in Moravia, the Baroque Church of the Virgin Mary of the Snow, Baroque Church of St. Michael and the town hall with astronomical clock. Other prominent landmarks include the Přemyslid Castle, a national cultural monument, the Gothic Church of St. Moritz, Hradisko Monastery and the group of six Olomouc Baroque fountains.
The coronation of Emperor Franz Josef I was held in the Early Baroque Archbishop's Palace in 1848. Olomouc is connected with numerous other prominent historical personalities (the Přemyslid dynasty died out with the murder of Wenceslas III of Bohemia at the Přemyslid Castle; General Lafayette was imprisoned in the Olomouc fort; musical composers W. A. Mozart and G. Mahler had short stays in the town).
Olomouc has excellent facilities for cultural, social and sporting events. In addition to a schedule of regular theatrical and music performances, Olomouc also hosts a wide range of festivals, celebrations and other cultural events throughout the year. Numerous discotheques, clubs and casino guarantee a colourful nightlife. For those that prefer an active form of relaxation Olomouc offers multipurpose sports centres and a new water park.
