Olomouc Castle (Czech: Olomoucký hrad) is one of the most important castle complexes in the Czech Republic. It is located on Wenceslas hill in the historic city of Olomouc.[1]

Originally there were two castles in Olomouc called "Old" and "new". The old one was located at the site of Villa Primavesi (street Alley).

Olomouc Castle is a National Cultural Monument of Czech Republic since 1962, along with other monuments on the territory of Czechoslovakia by the Government Resolution dated March 30, 1962, no. 251/62, and Regulation of the Government dated 16 August 1995, no. 262/1995.
