Kunštát Chateau is one of the oldest noble castles in Moravia. The unique object of the Romanesque castle palace shows that the castle was established as early as in the first half of the 13th century. The noblemen from Kunštát kept the estate until 1521.

The Czech monarch Jirí from Kunštát and Podebrady was the most famous person of this family and he owned the estate in Kunštát between 1427 and 1464. The last owners of the estate were the Counts of Coudenh-Honrichs between 1901 and 1945. In 2002, the chateau was declared the national cultural monument. The valuable complex of chateau buildings is surrounded by a park founded in the 17th century. There is a dog cemetery below the south walls of the chateau from the end of the 19th century, one of the few preserved in our country.
