Kroměříž Art School (ZUŠ)

Directions Website Call Facebook

The Kroměříž primary art school (Základní umělecká škola), founded by the Zlín Region, teaches children and young people in four departments: music, fine arts, dance, and literature and drama. Besides the main building in Kroměříž, it has branches in the surrounding area, for example in Chropyně and Morkovice-Slížany.

Since 1988 the school has been based in five interconnected Baroque houses in Jánská Street, which belong to the town and were restored for the school between 1983 and 1988. Four of them are former canons' houses of the St Maurice chapter. They were built after 1693 on the site of small craftsmen's houses and the old town jail, and their design is attributed to the bishop's architect Giovanni Pietro Tencalla, who was rebuilding the Kroměříž chateau at the time. The fifth and largest house was home to the Liechtenstein singing seminary for boys.

The houses form one of the most valuable Baroque ensembles in the town and are part of the Kroměříž urban heritage reserve. The Archbishop's Chateau, the Chateau Garden and the Flower Garden, all on the UNESCO World Heritage List, are just a short walk away.
