Located on a rock above the village of Nedvedice, and the rivers Svratka and Nedvedice, and about 25 miles northwest of Brno, this is one of the most beautiful of Moravian castles. It is also one of the biggest Gothic strongholds, and one the best preserved in the Czech Republic. It retains a domineering, medieval look as its towers, and ramparts loom over the countryside. It came to be known as the "Marble Castle" because of the marble-like stone used to frame the doors and windows. A creaky, wonderful place of many levels, its various sections are linked by a labyrinth of secret passages, corridors, and winding staircases (we climbed about 200 stairs on our tour). Each floor offers something marvelous to see. Some of the most interesting rooms include the Knights Hall and the Library, a masterpiece filled with remarkable Baroque bookcases holding 15,000 volumes, along with stuffed and mounted birds. During our tour, we not only learned about the history of the castle, we also felt the history. Pernštejn is not just a sight that is not to be missed. It is an unforgettable journey back in time.
