In 1777, Kroměříž, Central Moravia at the foot of the Chřiby hills, became the seat of the bishops of Olomouc. The splendid Kroměříž chateau and its beautiful garden are considered an especially attractive and well-preserved example of Baroque palatial and garden design. The château, its Flower Garden and the Garden Below the Château were entered in the UNESCO list of world cultural heritage sites.
