Places. Destinies.

Třebíč Chateau

The chateau is the most important monument. It is the dominant feature of the town. A cylindrical stone tower is preserved from the original Gothic castle. Between 1565 and 1578, under the rule of Jan Starší of Žerotín, the castle was rebuilt into a Renaissance chateau according to a design by the architect Gialdi. The emblem of the Žerotín family hangs above the entrance gate. The next owners, the Haugwitz family, reconstructed the chateau in baroque style. The chapel in the walls is decorated by paintings and sculptures from an abolished Capuchin monastery; the vault of the chateau library has rich stucco and fresco decorations. The library contains 16,000 volumes including the Kralice Bible. After 1945 the chateau served as a summerhouse for President Edvard Beneš, today there is a valuable collection of tapestries there. Music concerts are regularly held in the chateau library and in the courtyard. The chateau game park is well known for breeding fallow deer. 
There is a large collection of tapestry from the 16th to 19th centuries in the chateau halls. Two visiting tours familiarise the visitors with period interior furniture, including the library, the chapel, and the study of the President Beneš. A park surrounds the chateau.

Nové Město na Moravě Chateau

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.
