A heritage-listed castle with a clock tower and a prominent colonnaded balcony on its southern facade.
The château sits apart from Veselí nad Moravou's old town, cut off by a side arm of the Morava river and by the Svodnice canal, also called the Přívozní strouha. Its four wings close into a single courtyard, braced at the corners by towers set on the diagonal. Facing away from town, the west wing serves as the entrance, opening onto a forecourt framed by two curved outbuildings linked by a pillared gate. On the garden side, a shallow risalit breaks the roofline with three tall, round-headed windows on the upper floor and a balcony carried on four columns. That balcony projects far enough to form an open colonnaded hall at ground level, giving the exposed façade the monumental weight the rest of the building's stark composition withholds. The grounds, with their park and pheasantry, are protected as a cultural monument.
The clock tower stands at the center of the eastern wing, marking the main axis of the four-winged complex. The southern facade features a projecting colonnaded balcony with a high, arched entrance, giving the building a distinctive monumental presence. The entire estate, including the park and pheasantry, is protected as a cultural monument.
