AB The article presents a brief overview of homesteads on former manors in Moravia. It shows the sumptuous Baroque courts designed by remarkable architects and builders as well as the typological variety of 19th century courts and indicates some possible contexts. The monumental Baroque courts at Slavkov, Kunštát, and Žďár nad Sázavou Monastery were the most illustrious nobility homesteads not only in Moravia, but also throughout the territory of today's Czech Republic. Moravian courts show similar typological solutions as the Bohemian ones, but some of them are slightly different too. Moravian courts offer a wide scope for research from the viewpoints of the individual manor's context, builders, homesteads' typology, study of historical constructions, and works by particular builders.
