Znojemský hrad
Czechia
What you see at Znojmo today looks like a château, and in most respects it is one. Its present appearance comes chiefly from baroque alterations made in the eighteenth century, and the whole complex is protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic. Underneath that tidy baroque skin, though, is a royal castle, and if you know where to look, the older building keeps showing through. The château is best read as a medieval castle that was refaced, cut down and repurposed several times over, rather than as a single elegant design.
