Věžky

A village in the Litenčice Hills about 13 km west of Kroměříž, which also includes the hamlet of Vlčí Doly. It is first mentioned in 1348, when a fortress of the lesser nobles of Věžky stood here. On its site a Baroque manor farm was built in the 18th century and a smaller chateau in the mid-19th century. The church of St Elizabeth was built by Gustav Redlich in 1904, with his family's tomb beneath it. A mighty plane tree grows in the park.

Věžky is known for its gardening fairs. Until 2012 the Floria show was held here before moving to Kroměříž, and at the Zahrada Věžky grounds sales fairs for gardeners and cottage owners continue several times a year. By the road to Kroměříž stands a memorial to an American pilot who was killed here in August 1944.
