Litomyšl Essentials

Litomyšl is defined by its UNESCO-listed Renaissance castle, famous for its sgraffito-decorated walls and rare 18th-century theater. The town’s cultural heritage is deeply tied to composer Bedřich Smetana, whose birthplace is preserved within the former castle brewery. This selection highlights the architectural transition from Gothic and Baroque churches to the Neo-Renaissance Smetana House. Visitors can explore the formal French gardens and the Monastery Gardens, which feature contemporary sculptures by Olbram Zoubek and panoramic views of the historic center.
