Castle of Žerotín in Valašské Meziříčí

Castle of Žerotín in Valašské Meziříčí, Renaissance château in Valašské Meziříčí, Czech Republic.

The Castle of Žerotín is a Renaissance building with three wings surrounding a central courtyard and housing numerous rooms in rectangular formation. The interior displays typical Renaissance architectural features including decorated fireplaces, stuccowork, and preserved wall paintings.

Jan IV of Pernštejn bought the Rožnov estate in 1532 and began building the castle around 1539 on a raised site on the left bank of the Rožnovská Bečva, documented in writing by 1545. Vilém of Žerotín took over the estate in 1548, and from the mid-1560s Bernard of Žerotín made the castle his residence and enlarged it. Swedish troops burned it on 14 February 1648.

The castle's name recalls the Žerotín family, who held it from 1548 until 1692. Since 2014 the south wing has housed the Museum and Gallery Centre, with an exhibition on the town's history and the Žerotín lineage. In the north wing's cellars the M-klub has staged theatre and music continuously since 1971.

The castle is easily reached from the town center and visitors should allow time to explore the interior rooms. Guided tours help visitors understand the architecture and regional heritage aspects of the building.

The former granary and prison chapel on the second courtyard were renovated between 2006 and 2008 and now house the tourist information centre and a gallery of modern art. The chapel's name recalls the building's earlier role in the town's judicial life.
