Provost's House

Provost's House

Directions

The Baroque building with a mansard roof stands on older foundations, as shown by the coat of arms of Bishop Dietrichstein in the arcaded courtyard. The house was thoroughly rebuilt three times, and the individual rebuildings are recorded by plaques of Bishops Liechtenstein and Egkh.

The orchard around the provost's house, together with the old Baroque wall, forms one of the most charming corners of old Kroměříž.

Many later bishops and archbishops served here as provosts, among them Prusinovský, Egkh, Colloredo, Fürstenberg, Skrbenský and Stojan. The building is part of the Kroměříž urban heritage reservation.

Based on a text by Jindřich Spáčil on the memorial plaque of the building.
