During the reign of Bishop Charles Liechtenstein, a great conversion of the castle into an early baroque residence was carried out, led by the architect G.P. Tencalla. The palace served as the episcopal residence and administrative center of the bishopric in Olomouc. The palace houses historic rooms with stylish interiors, a picture gallery (works by Titian and Lucas Cranach the Elder), a valuable music archive, a historic library and a rich numismatic collection.
• The Castle Garden - a UNESCO monument, the present nature of an open-air park with an area of ​​64 ha, acquired in the first half of the nineteenth century, when it was enriched with numerous buildings, such as the Pompeian Colonnade, the Chinese Pavilion and the Maximillian Court.
