Třebíč Castle, Baroque castle in Podklásteří, Czech Republic.
Třebíč Castle is a Baroque residence in Podklásteří featuring a horseshoe-shaped layout surrounded by water moats. The buildings combine medieval fortification details with later Renaissance and Baroque modifications across their facades and interiors.
The complex originated in 1101 as a Benedictine monastery and later transformed into a castle. Major reconstruction during the Renaissance and Baroque periods reshaped the entire structure into its current form.
The castle's name comes from the Benedictine monastery founded in 1101, whose monks wore black habits that became the symbols on Třebíč's coat of arms. Since 2018 the castle has been part of the UNESCO listing together with the Jewish Quarter, St Procopius Basilica and the Jewish cemetery. The castle now houses the Vysočina Museum Třebíč.
The castle operates as a museum managed by Vysočina Museum Třebíč with rotating exhibitions for visitors. The property also offers spaces available for special events and film production use.
The castle's stone hall dates from the late 17th century, and the three-storey Baroque gable facing 9. května Street comes from the same period. In the former east entrance tower, now house no. 163, the Adonaj Centre of the Třebíč Union of Christian Youth has its seat.
