Why visit this place?

• In 1491 the estate passed to Vilém II. z Pernštejna, who rebuilt the castle into a four-wing Renaissance palace ringed by massive fortifications.
• The result is a seat halfway between castle and chateau whose fortification system marks the peak of late Gothic defensive engineering.
• Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 4,167 visitors on Google Maps.
• Besides the tour there are hands-on workshops, so children get to make something themselves.
