Pernštejn Castle, Gothic Revival castle in South Moravian Region, Czech Republic.
The stone fortress stands on a rock formation overlooking the village of Nedvědice, between the rivers Svratka and Nedvědička.
The Lords of Medlov established this fortification between 1270 and 1285, adopting the name Pernštejn from the German term Bärenstein, meaning Bear Rock.
The castle features marble-like stone doorways and windows, which earned this medieval stronghold recognition as the marble castle of Moravia.
Visitors can explore the castle from April through October, with extended hours during summer months and guided tours available in multiple languages.
The five-story Barborka tower connects to other buildings through two wooden bridges, incorporating narrow passages designed to prevent armored knights from passing.
