Olomouc Castle, once the seat of Moravian margraves, now hosts the Archdiocesan Museum. Visitors explore Gothic and Renaissance halls filled with religious artifacts, paintings, and sculptures. The castle's Romanesque Bishop's Palace and the adjacent St. Wenceslas Cathedral add to the historic atmosphere.
