Bouzov Castle - Great Attractions (Czech Republic)

2011-03-16 9

Take a tour of Bouzov Castle in Czech Republic – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.

Nestled amid the lovely countryside and gorgeous hills of Moravia, Czech Republic is an idyllic medieval castle.

This 14th century stronghold, the statuesque Bouzov Castle, emerged from an austere sentry castle.

A number of aristocratic families have inhabited this castle throughout its history; as a result its architecture was updated more than once to accommodate their then modern trends.

From its early Gothic beginnings, it was transformed to a Renaissance-style fortress and later into a Neo-Gothic castle.

Adorned with gorgeous oriel windows, elegant bastions, tall towers and Gothic vaulting, this castle is simply exquisite.

Today this rustic beauty is immensely popular as one of the Czech Republic's national monuments.
