Interesting facts Kinských (chateau)

The Kinský Empire chateau stands in Zámecká street, descriptive number three, and is one of the last buildings in the older buildings of the town of Krásno and one of the most important monuments in Valašské Meziříčí. Originally, this building served as the administrative building of the Rožnov-Krásenský estate, but in 1854 the owner, Count Eugen Kinský, had it rebuilt into his family manor house. The building was added a whole new floor, got a new roof and the interior was also equipped for a comfortable living estate. At the time of the reconstruction of the building, the park around it was also renovated. A nice English park with an area of ​​more than 6 hectares was created. The chateau was owned by the Žerotín and Kinský families until 1945, when it fell to the state.
