Litomyšl, Renaissance castle complex in Litomyšl, Czech Republic
The Italian-style castle stands prominently on a hill, displaying 8000 unique sgraffito panels across its white-plastered exterior walls.
Established in 981, Litomyšl grew from a protective settlement into a significant trade route connecting Bohemia and Moravia until 1918.
The annual Smetanova Litomyšl festival celebrates classical music in honor of composer Bedřich Smetana, who was born in the castle complex.
The castle offers guided tours through 13 furnished rooms, including a Baroque wooden theater and a library with historical collections.
Underground vaulted cellars beneath the castle house an art museum featuring sculptures by Olbram Zoubek and serve as wine aging chambers.
