Located in the Southern Moravian region of the Czech Republic, close to the border between the historic regions of Bohemia and Moravia, Telc was founded in the 13th century and it is currently home to approximately 6,000 people.
Despite its small size, the town of Telc is literally packed with remarkable landmarks and breathtaking architectural pieces. There are three main dominants in the city: the Telc Chateau, the Telc Castle and the Main Square.
One of the most impressive examples of the Italian Renaissance, the Telc Chateau is a monumental chateau built in the 17th century. Surrounded by large and meticulously maintained English style park, the chateau houses extensive collections of Italian art and various historic artifacts.
