Kuneticka hora Castle
Kunětická hora Castle is one of the most distinctive landmarks of the Pardubice region. Rising above the surrounding countryside, the castle was built at the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries by the powerful Pernštejn family.
Today, visitors can explore the castle interiors and learn about its long and often dramatic history. The main tour route leads through the castle palace and includes access to the tower, which offers wide views of the surrounding landscape and the East Bohemian countryside.
Another exhibition is dedicated to the famous Czech architect Dušan Jurkovič, who played an important role in the restoration of the castle in the early 20th century.
Visitors can also see the Chapel of St. Catherine of Alexandria, featuring a Baroque altarpiece and preserved historic details.
Culture and events
Kunětická hora is not only a historic monument but also a lively cultural venue. During the summer months, the castle courtyard hosts theatre performances, concerts and festivals.
One of the highlights is the annual summer theatre stage of the East Bohemian Theatre Pardubice, which brings popular productions to the open-air setting of the castle. The area also hosts concerts and music festivals, including the well-known Czech Castles.CZ festival.
Throughout the year, the castle takes part in national heritage events such as European Heritage Days and Castle Night.
Special programmes and activities are often prepared for children, offering a playful introduction to medieval life. For opening hours, guided tours and current events, please visit the official castle website.
