The Valtice Castle was built at the beginning of the XVIII century for the Liechtenstein family. Part of it now serves as a museum while some wings have been transformed into a hotel, restaurant and nightclub complex. It is sitted in a small town with the same name in the South Moravian region of the Czech Republic. The plaster on the façade of the Castle is damaged by quasi-brittle fracture.
