The castle isn't exactly very old - it was built in mid-19th century in a place where castles had stood since the early Middle Ages. It is, however, a fine example of the Victorian passion for the Gothic architecture and as such decidedly deserves a visit if only to see how the princes of Liechtenstein lived and entertained. Reserve a whole day for the visit - apart from the castle itself (visits in guided groups with limited numer of tickets so get yours as soon as you arrive!), there is the greenhouse, the minaret, the park etc. etc. It will take the whole summer day to see it all but you won't regret it!

Worth going there because of three reasons: beautiful castle with panoramic view, outstanding quiet gardens and winery(!)

This imposing 13th-century castle first served as a fortress and then as a prison for common criminals and opponents of the Hapsburg monarchy.

n good weather, I recommend climbing the green hill to Špilberk Castle. This castle has been standing for more than 700 years, it was built in the Gothic and Baroque style. What I like most is the monument to the commander of the battles with the Swedes in the 17th century. There is also a nice view of Brno from Špilberk.

Sometimes you need to have a rest during your stay in a city and you want to meet history and nature at the same time. It is the right place for you! You can walk, cycle or travel by steam boat there from Brno and spend relaxing time.

In the city of Znojmo there was originally a castle, now a chateau. It includes the rotunda of St. Catherine - proof that the church was a co-ruler.
