Litomyšl Chateau, Renaissance castle in Litomyšl, Czech Republic

The three-floor castle features continuous arcading, groin vaulting, and four asymmetrical wings surrounding a central courtyard with a two-story gallery.

Construction began in 1568 under Jan Baptista Avostalis and his brother Oldřich, serving as the residence of the Pernštejn family until 1646.

The castle houses a preserved 18th-century theater complete with original decorations, machinery, and auditorium in its western wing.

Visitors can explore state rooms, private quarters, and the chapel through guided tours, with varying opening hours throughout different seasons.

The castle's brewery building holds significance as the birthplace of Czech composer Bedřich Smetana in 1824.
