Plumlov (German: Blumenau, also Plumau) is a town in the Olomouc Region, Czech Republic.
Plumlov is the place of the castle, which was personally designed by Prince Karl Eusebius of Liechtenstein, an avid devotee to the art of building. Know then as Plumenau Castle, it was intended as a jewel of Baroque architecture. The castle was confiscated from its owners in 1931. Now in possession of the local government in Plumlov, attempts to restore the building to its original voluptuous forms of Bohemian baroque have met with acute financial shortcomings.
