Title

Name in English

Pernštejn Castle is a castle on a rock above the village of Nedvědice and the rivers Svratka and Nedvědička, some 40 kilometres (25 mi) northwest of Brno, in the South Moravian Region, Czech Republic. Pernštejn came to be known as the marble castle because of the marble-like stone used to frame the doors and windows.
It was founded by the Lords of Medlov probably between 1270–1285. The family branch seated at the castle and adopted the then fashionable name Pernštejn (written also Pernstein), which is the Czech version probably derived of the German name, Bärenstein – the "Bear Rock". Its history is closely connected to the Lords of Pernštejn (Pernštejnové) and their descendants. It has kept its intact appearance in the Gothic and Renaissance form as it was finished in the first half of the 16th century by the Pernštejns, then the richest and most powerful lordly family of the Czech kingdom. Pernštejn is one of the best preserved castles in Czech Republic.

Pernštejn Castle

The originally a Renaissance chateau, was expanded in the Baroque era, and then adapted in the neo- Gothic style. Of the various architectural styles, the Gothic Renaissance entry gate have survived. The chateau interiors are decorated with stucco and paintings and appointed with period furnishings. Today, the chateau houses the museum. 
The chateau has housed the museum since 1948. In addition to historical and natural collections, visitors can see a collection pertaining to the military operations of the Austro-Hungarian army in 1909, and also a batiste handkerchief of František Harrach, the adjutant of the heir to the throne, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, with the archduke’s blood. The exhibition specialising on roads gives an introduction to road and bridge construction, through photographs and design documentation.

Velké Meziříčí Chateau

Renaissance chateau, built in 1592-1596 by Vilém Dubský of Třebomyslice. The east wing was added under the next owner, Cardinal František of Dietrichstein. In mid-18th century it was badly damaged by fire, and therefore reconstructed and enlarged in Baroque style. It received the present appearance, including the neo-Renaissance façade, in the 1870s. Today it houses the Horácko Gallery.

Nové Město na Moravě Chateau

This castle was among the most important residences of the powerful lords of Pernštejn. It was built on an elongated rocky ridge on the right bank of the Svratka River, not far from the town of Pivonice, so that it could help protect the trade route that lead from Brno to Polička. The Pernštejn family crest features a bison ("zubr," in Czech), and so the former Kámen (Stone) Castle was renamed Zubrštejn, which is the origin of the garbled current name, Zubštejn. The last evidence of residents inhabiting this expansive castle dates back to 1522. Surviving structures include the remainder of the the northern entrance tower and a large portion of the castle palace. In 2009–2011, the ruins were outfitted with structural supports, a wooden bridge between the bridgehead and the castle core was constructed for the safety of tourists, and siege engines were added.

Zubštejn Castle

Originally an early gothic castle built in the second half of the 13th century by the Lords of Lomnice. It had been reconstructed several times by 1558 – at the end of the 16th century it was reconstructed into a renaissance chateau and at the end of the 17th century in the baroque style. Then the chateau entrance was decorated with a renaissance portal relocated from Brno. Clearly the most interesting and most valuable feature of the chateau is the preserved high gothic chapel of St. Františka Serafínsky.

Budišov Chateau

The chateau, an extensive and numerous complex of buildings belonging to a former Cistercian monastery, is now the property of Dr. Radoslav Kinský. The baroque bridge over the Sázava, originating from 1760, leads to the chateau. It is decorated with eight statues of the saints. The former building of the abbey and the part of monastery where permanent museum exhibitions are situated at present were built in the Gothic style. In the building of the prelate you can see the Museum of Books and K. F. Töpfer?s huge fresco covers the whole ceiling of its main hall. The agricultural buildings of the first chateau courtyard are built in baroque style. The former Gothic Church of the Assumption of the Virgin, which was rebuilt in the Baroque Gothic by Santini, has rich interior decorations. Santini also reconstructed the decagonal ten-sided ?well chapel". There was a 35m deep well as early as at the end of the 13th century. The palace gained its present shape after 1784 when the monastery was burnt down and then dissolved by Emperor Josef II?s edict and rebuilt into a chateau.
