5000 Korun Kroměříž

Kroměříž — specifically its archiepiscopal château and gardens — was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1998, one of the few Baroque ensembles in Central Europe to have survived the twentieth century essentially intact. The Czech National Bank's gold issues in this denomination have followed a consistent program of highlighting UNESCO-listed Bohemian and Moravian heritage sites, and Kroměříž earned its place on the list in part because the gardens represent one of the earliest and best-preserved examples of Baroque garden design north of the Alps.
