Medieval castle converted into a château in the heart of the Chodsko region. It offers an exhibition on the region's history and a beautiful view of Domažlice.
Originally a Gothic castle from the 13th century, it was rebuilt into a Renaissance château after a fire in the 16th century. Today it houses the Museum of Chodsko, presenting the rich history and traditions of this distinctive region.
The exhibitions feature Chodsko costumes, ceramics, historical weapons, and a commemoration of the famous Chodsko rebellions. You can also climb the tower for a view of the town and the surrounding countryside.
