Pernštejnský tis, Remarkable yew tree at Pernštejn Castle, Czech Republic
The ancient red yew stands on the northern slope beneath Pernštejn Castle, reaching a height of 15 meters with a trunk circumference of 450 centimeters.
Dating back to 863, this yew is considered the oldest of its kind in Moravia and among the most ancient trees in the Czech Republic.
The tree won the Czech Republic Tree of the Year award in 2005 and was featured in a television series about notable trees near castles.
The protected status of this yew tree, granted on November 18, 1999, ensures its preservation as a natural monument for future generations.
Local traditions connect the tree's condition to the castle's fate, with a branch breaking in 2005 preceding a fire that damaged the castle granary.
