Urban conservation area

Town houses, picturesque streets, fountains, and shady arcades. All this creates the unique character of the historic center of Kroměříž, which has been a Municipal Heritage Reserve since 1978. It includes the historic core with both castle gardens, Květná and Podzámecká. Among its most significant buildings are, of course, the Archbishop’s Castle, but also the remains of the town fortifications from 1245 to 1281, St. Maurice’s Cathedral and the adjacent square with the houses of canons, vicars, the provost’s office and the rectory, as well as the bishop’s outer bailey with the Mill Gate, Maximilian’s aqueduct, the Bishop’s Mill, and the mint. The Kroměříž heritage reserve also includes the town houses on the Great Square, including the town hall and other historic buildings in the adjacent streets of Jánská, Pilařova, Kovářská, Ztracená, and Vodní.
