Malenovice Castle

Commemorative coins Coin no. 501

Malenovice Castle was founded in the 2nd half of the 14th century by the Moravian margrave Jan Jindřich. In the following centuries, it underwent several reconstructions, which turned the original Gothic medieval castle into a Renaissance chateau-type residence, later modified in the Baroque style. Until the middle of the 20th century, the castle retained its residential and administrative function. Part of the castle is open to the public. Visitors can see, for example, a painted hall with a late Gothic vault and preserved inscriptions from the 1st half of the 16th century. A home chapel with paintings from the middle of the 18th century, and the castle tower is also accessible. In recent years, the service for visitors at the castle has improved significantly – the castle has a newly renovated bailey with modern sanitary facilities and drink and snack vending machines.
