Křižanov Castle

This Renaissance Revival castle features a rectangular main building with an interior courtyard, surrounded by well-maintained park areas and landscaped gardens that have evolved over centuries to enhance both aesthetic appeal and functional use.

Originally constructed with a Renaissance core, the castle's present appearance was shaped in the 1860s through extensive renovation and reconstruction efforts, having been notably owned by the prominent Pernštejn family from 1486 to 1560.

Designated as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic, the castle now functions as an institute for social welfare while preserving its heritage value and offering educational programs about Czech history and architectural conservation.

The castle is accessible via local roads with parking facilities available nearby, offering guided tours seasonally with special events such as reenactments and historical exhibitions held periodically throughout the year.

The castle occupies a commanding position on elevated terrain providing panoramic views of the nearby town and the Libochovka River, with local folklore telling tales of secret passages and hidden rooms within its structure.
