Summary[edit]

Description
English: Bouzov Castle (Hrad Bouzov) is an early fourteenth century fortress first mentioned in 1317. It was built on a hill between the village of Hvozdek and the town of Bouzov, 21 km west of Litovel and 28 km northwest of Olomouc, in Moravia. The castle was established to watch over the trade route from Olomouc to Loštice. The minor aristocratic Bůz of Bludovec family were its first recorded owners from 1317-1339 and the castle also takes its name from the family. Ownership of the castle then changed, and the Lords of Kunštát were among the most important medieval owners. According to tradition, Bouzov Castle is often connected with the name of the most famous member of this noble dynasty, Jiří z Poděbrady, who was born in Bouzov in 1420 and was crowned Czech King in 1458. In 1558 the castle burned down, and lost much of its majestic quality. In the course of centuries there were several changes of proprietors; the castle was owned by the lords of Vildenberk, margrave Jošt, the Haugvic and the Pod Štatský families, and in 1696 the barony was bought by the grand master of the Teutonic Order, the Rhenish palsgrave Fanciscus Ludovicus. The castle gained today's appearance after massive Neo-gothic reconstruction between 1895 and 1910. The Grand Master of the Order of the Teutonic Knights from 1799 to 1939, archduke Eugen Habsburg, decided to rebuilt it in the Romantic, predominantly Neo-Gothic style, according to the plans of the prominent architect of the time Georg von Hauberisser (1841–1922).
