Kunětická Hora Castle, Gothic castle on Kunětická Mountain near Pardubice, Czech Republic

Kunětická Hora is a castle ruin on an isolated hill about 6 km from Pardubice, in the municipality of Ráby. Vilém of Pernštejn rebuilt it in late Gothic style with two towers and a moat, and his sons continued in early Renaissance style. The core is entered through successive gates, and the palace was roofed during the 1920s restoration.

Archaeological research dates the castle's founding to the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries, probably under King Wenceslas II, though it may never have been finished and likely vanished early in the 14th century. In April 1421 Diviš Bořek of Miletínek built a new castle on the ruins and made it his seat; in 1491 Vilém of Pernštejn bought it and rebuilt it in late Gothic style, work continued in early Renaissance form, and Swedish troops under Torstenson took and burned it in 1645.

The castle is open as a museum, and its surviving murals include a 1523 painting of Samson and Delilah, described as the oldest known Renaissance mural in Bohemia. Occasional music and theatrical performances take place in the grounds. The hill's name is linked to a legend recorded by Václav Hájek z Libočan about a courtier of Křesomysl named Kunak, who supposedly gave the hill his name around 838.

The castle can be reached by following marked paths from Pardubice, with parking available at the base of Kunětická Mountain. Wearing sturdy shoes is recommended since the climb involves uneven terrain and steep sections.

The oldest known Renaissance mural in Bohemia survives inside the castle: a 1523 painting of Samson and Delilah. Visitors can also attend occasional music and theatrical performances staged in the ruin, which was bought by the Pardubice Museum Society in 1919.
