Zborovice

A village below Troják hill on the eastern edge of the Litenčice Hills, about 12 km south-west of Kroměříž, which also includes Medlov. It is documented in 1276 and grew along an old trade route that is now followed by the main road. On the village green stands the church of St Bartholomew; a parish is recorded here as early as the 14th century. Next to the church are statues of St Florian and St John of Nepomuk.

At the beginning of the 18th century the fortress was rebuilt as a Baroque chateau, and in 1891 the so-called New Chateau was built next to it, a Neo-Renaissance villa of the Friess family designed by the Viennese architects Fellner and Helmer. The Friess family tomb stands at the top of the chateau garden. Zborovice is the terminus of the railway line from Kroměříž, opened in 1881 mainly because of the local sugar factory.
