UNESCO castle<\/h4>

visit to the Renaissance pearl including a guided tour<\/p><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t

This UNESCO World Heritage Site is an obvious landmark of the town and a major tourist destination for visitors.<\/p>\n

The Renaissance chateau has adorned the panorama of Litomy\u0161l since the second half of the 16th century. century, when it was built by Vratislav II. of Pern\u0161tejn, perhaps with the idea of bringing a splash of the Mediterranean to the East Bohemian town and thus pleasing his Spanish wife, Maria Manrique de Lara. The Festival Pass is a ticket to one of the sightseeing tours. Reservations can be made directly at the castle ticket office.<\/p>\n

B's native apartment. Smetana<\/h4>

newly opened exposition with music video mapping<\/p><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t

“The father was in the yard when the girl came running with the news that a son had been born. And the happy father caught the girl in his joy and danced with her in the courtyard. But he wanted his people to share this joy with him, so he had a barrel of beer rolled out into the courtyard and they sang and danced and welcomed the arrival of Bed\u0159ich Smetana into the world…”<\/p>\n

Bed\u0159ich Smetana was born as the first son and the eleventh child of Franti\u0161ek Smetana, a brewer at the Litomy\u0161l castle, on Shrove Tuesday 2. March 1824. The exhibition in his birthplace was opened exactly one hundred years later. Two hundred years later – in 2024 – it took on its current form.

z\u00e1meck\u00e9 sklepen\u00ed<\/h4>

exhibition of sculptures by Olbram Zoubek and Heart for V\u00e1clav Havel<\/p><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t

The majestic halls with high vaulted ceilings give visitors a soothing impression. When Bed\u0159ich Smetana was born in Litomy\u0161l, the cellar was used to store barrels from the local brewery where Bed\u0159ich’s father was the brewer.<\/p>\n

Today, carefully selected wines from Moravian and Austrian winemakers are maturing in the climatically ideal environment. A glass of wine at the ideal temperature can make a cellar tour even more enjoyable.<\/p>\n

The permanent exhibition of the castle cellar consists of a set of more than 80 sculptures donated to Litomy\u0161l by Olbram Zoubek. They are a cross-section of his life’s work and each of them can be accompanied by an audio guide with a commentary by the author. <\/p>\n

The Heart for V\u00e1clav Havel found its permanent exhibition space in one of the halls. Visitors can find the sculpture made from thousands of candles that people lit after the death of the first Czech president by its specific smell. Perhaps it smacks of the idea of a decent society, perhaps of the hope that it is possible to act according to one’s conscience and not lose out…

Piarist church<\/h4>

viewpoint, gallery with steel footbridge and night guided tour<\/p><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t

The monumental Baroque church by Italian architect Giovanni Battista Alliprandi was given a new look in 2010 by architect Marek \u0160t\u011bp\u00e1n. And it was not only him who shaped one of the most significant temples in East Bohemia.<\/p>\n

After Alliprandi’s death, Franti\u0161ek Maxmili\u00e1n Ka\u0148ka was invited to complete the construction and opened the church in 1722. Not long afterwards, however, the interior was hit by several fires. Today they are commemorated by charred pews or modern grey paintings.<\/p>\n

Several art objects by V\u00e1clav C\u00edgler and Michal Moty\u010dka occupied the space of the temple. A truly unique space is the view from the protective mezzanine.<\/p>\n

The Festival Pass is a ticket to the church, the lookout, the Angels on the Hill exhibit and the evening guided tour.

regional museum<\/h4>

The building of the Regional Museum in Litomy\u0161l is as interesting in itself as its collections. It is the original Piarist grammar school and it was in these walls that Alois Jir\u00e1sek taught and worked. The building has been a museum since 1928 and in 2014 it was revitalized to its present form according to Josef Pleskot’s design.<\/p>\n

The architect faced unexpected challenges during the revitalization. He had to quickly adapt his design to the significant archaeological findings at the site of the planned basement extension. The exposed medieval cobbled roads, remains of houses, walls and gates can now be admired by every visitor to the museum.

It is said that whoever slept in rooms painted by Josef V\u00e1chal woke up like a madman. Josef V\u00e1chal, a mystic, graphic designer, trained bookbinder, nephew of Mikol\u00e1\u0161 Al\u0161, author of books, is loved by Litomy\u0161l especially thanks to his unique outlook on life. He was brought to Litomy\u0161l by his patron, Josef Portman, whom he named Count Portmon in his Blood Novel.<\/p>\n

After its recent reconstruction, the Portmoneum offers, in addition to its haunted rooms and permanent exhibition, video mapping in which V\u00e1chal’s paintings literally come to life.
