Manorial Granary

Manorial Granary

Directions

The manorial granary stands in the former suburban settlement of Novosady, which until 1849 was a separate village subject to the bishop. The suburbs were the most vulnerable part of the town during military raids, especially in 1643, when Swedish troops ravaged Kroměříž.

Construction of the bishop's granary began under Bishop Karl II of Liechtenstein-Castelcorn, and the design is attributed to the architect Giovanni Pietro Tencalla. It was only completed in 1724 under Cardinal Wolfgang Hannibal von Schrattenbach, who is commemorated by a coat of arms and a stone plaque with a chronogram in the massive Baroque gable. The facade is divided by recessed pilasters, and the interior is vaulted.

The building is part of the Kroměříž urban heritage reserve.
