Zámek, Renaissance Revival château in Nové Město na Moravě, Czech Republic
The château is a Renaissance Revival building in Nové Město na Moravě, featuring symmetrical architecture with rectangular windows and a central entrance framed by stone ornamentation. The interior now houses an art gallery with exhibition spaces for regional works.
The building began as a fortress in the 14th century and was later transformed into a Renaissance castle during the Pernštejn family's ownership starting in 1496. This transformation shaped the structure's appearance as seen today.
The gallery inside displays works by regional artists, with a focus on glass art, landscape paintings, and sculptures from the 20th century. Visitors can see how these art forms reflect the area's creative traditions.
Access is through Vratislavovo Square and guided tours explain the architecture and collections inside. It is best to allow time for viewing, especially if you want to explore the exhibitions in detail.
The castle was not always an art museum but served different purposes over centuries as a residence and defensive structure. This dual role as a historic building and contemporary exhibition venue makes visiting distinctive.
