The main attraction of the town Jaroměřice nad Rokitnou a population of only 5000 people, is considered a luxury, magnificent, breathtaking castle, which, according to many researchers, recognized as one of the largest palace complexes not only the Czech Republic but also in Europe. It is surrounded by two parks, one is created in the French style, and is an abundance of open spaces, straight avenues carefully groomed, curly clipped trees, and the other is English, and lovers of privacy and shady corners.

A small town on the Austrian border in the XIV century in need of protection against attacks by enemy forces. For these purposes, next to him was built a large fortress, which in the XVII century, by order of Masters Rehenberkov, was rebuilt under the palace. Rehenberki behaved wrong and guilty before the Czech crown, so we were stripped of all their property. So the castle became the property of the nobility Questenberg. They hired Italian architects to those Renaissance palace rebuilt in the Baroque style. So we did and see now.

YA was a great admirer of Questenberg various kinds of arts, especially music. In his castle he gathered the most famous musicians of the time. It is here that was written by the first Czech opera. Until now, the castle demonstrates excellent collection of musical instruments, notes and autographs of the great composers.

The castle has a spacious church with a dome, which can not match the largest no set in the Czech Republic. The church should pay attention to old paintings on the walls.
