The wooden Castle built in the 12th century and the whole town was burnt to the ground in 1643 by the Swedish King. Everything was rebuilt in a Baroque Style and the new stone Castle and 64 ha. garden is protected by UNESCO. The Church has paintings comparable to the Sistine Chaple and is an awsome place to visit. Kromeriz was a very important diocese and the bishops and archbishops were very influential in Czech History

A Place where Pope Paul said a mass to over a million people from all over Europe. Pope Paul declared it to be the Religious and Cultural Centre of Europe. A World Heretage Site. A Place where St.Cyrillus and Methodius were invited by a King to bring Christianity to Europe from Contantinople in the 9th Century and built a simple wooden Chapel. Chapel and Cathedral built later was destoyed during the Hussite War during the attempted reformation of the Roman Catholic Church by Jan Hus. The Basilica was built over the Cathedral ruins where many cripts of Bishops and Saints were discovered. It is a Magnificant Place where Pilgrimages on foot come each first Sunday of the month from places like Uherske Hradiste for a celebration Mass. The original Chapel was rebuilt in Neo-Gothic style and a Monastery was added. Since my last visit a wall was built on the extensive grounds with huge statues of about 12 Saints. Visiting inside the Basilica is restricted to times outside of masses. There is a peacefull and Religious feeling when inside the Extensive Complex. During the Communist Era a seven meter high wall was built around the place so as to hide it from the People. In short it is a Magnificant and Historic Place
