About the venue: Valtice Palace

Valtice Castle is a large Baroque château in South Moravia that served as the seat of the ruling Liechtenstein princes from the late 14th century until its expropriation in 1945. It acquired its present form through costly reconstructions in the 17th and 18th centuries, carried out by leading European architects. Since 1996 it has been part of the Lednice-Valtice Area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visitors can explore guided tour circuits, a Baroque theatre, the castle chapel, and the Wine Salon of the Czech Republic housed in the castle cellars.
