Bouzov Castle was founded at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries and has been a national cultural monument since 1999. Its current romantic appearance with crenellations, arrow slits, loopholes, and gargoyles was acquired after reconstruction between 1895 and 1910. Unique features include two functional drawbridges and a drawbridge portcullis.
