Elaborated by: Lukáš Svoboda, Václav Slabý, Michal Smilek

3. The state castle Jaroměřice upon the Rokytná River is a baroque national
cultural sight. It creates a dominant and a symbol of the town Jaroměřice upon
the Rokytná River together with St. Markéta´s cathedral.
Today’s castle got its look after the reconstruction that was organized and
paid by the last of Questenberk - Jan Adam.
The authors of the primary project of the baroque reconstruction of the castle
and the church could be both Johann Lucas Hildebrand and Jakub Prandtauer.
The park on the right bank of the Rokytná river, which has an area of about 9 ha,
belongs to the castle, too.

4. History
Some researchers think that there was a medieval stronghold at the place
of today‘s castle.
The stronghold was intended to be developed at a strategically advantageous
place: on the rock protected by swamps, which the Rokytná brook creates,
from the south.
There is no documented evidence whether the stronghold was really here -
the stronghold may have been developed only at the very end of the Middle Ages
- after before its renaissance reconstruction began. .
Ludvík Meziříčský ( ) let the stronghold rebuild into a castle as early
as at the beginning of his reign.
The stronghold became the castle with three one-storey wings:
- the middle wing was turned to the square.
- both two lateral wings were turned to the river.
The symmetrically arranged garden reached only to the river and it was
surrounded by the wall along it, in the west the garden was in the neighbourhood
of the rectory.
