Vodní tvrz Jeseník, Water castle in Jeseník, Czech Republic
The Vodní tvrz stands in the center of Jeseník on Castle Square, featuring defensive water elements and thick stone walls built for protection.
Built by the Silesian Piasts in the 13th century, this fortress served as a noble residence and defensive structure on the route between Silesia and Moravia.
The medieval fortress now houses a regional museum with three permanent exhibitions focusing on local history, witch trials, and multimedia presentations.
Open throughout the year, the castle offers guided tours of its halls, including the Knight's Hall where regular jazz concerts take place.
The fortress contains exhibits documenting the 17th-century witch trials during which more than 100 people from the Jeseník region lost their lives.
