EN: The area of the Kravare castle park is now about 22 ha. The park is decorated by several ponds, brooks and small bridges over them. From many places there is a nice view at the building of the castle. The park was established at the place of the original alluvial forest at the same time when the castle was rebuilt into the baroque style in the 18th century. Almost 100 species of trees and bushes grow there. Some trees have reached the age of over 200 years.
The 9-holes golf course is a part of the park. It is operated by the Castle Golf Club Kravare. Nowadays the enlargement of the course has been going on – but outside the park. The park is intersected by the inter-regional bicycle track no. 55, leading from the Jeseníky mountains to Ostrava. Both the park and the castle were proclaimed the national cultural memorial of the Czech republic.
The late-baroque Kravare castle was built in the 18th century. Part of the castle is also Archangel Michael´s Chapel with a monumental ceiling fresco and beautiful altar. The fresco is the work of F.I Eckstein, who was one of the main representatives of baroque mural wall painting in Moravia and Silesia. In the castle interior visitors can admire rich stucco decorations and a museum exhibition dealing with the town and its environs.
