Wonderful place to stay. My daughter and I stayed for a few days in the 3 bedroom apartment at the end of May. No one else was even there. This is a fantastic hidden gem. We will definitely stay again next tome in germany. My only regret was we were unable to stay longer. We ABSOLUTELY loved it!!!!

We just walked around the grounds and took few photos. We didn't go inside. Nice old castle. The brochure says you can rent the place for functions.

Just a courtyard, impressive building, would be cool to actually see more than just the courtyard though.

This place is seriously magnificent, I went there on a trip and was blown away by the historical background and nighttime lighting

Jan Hus Memorial

The Jan Hus Memorial stands at one end of Old Town Square. The huge monument depicts victorious Hussite warriors and Protestants who were forced into exile 200 years after Hus, and a young mother who symbolises national rebirth. The monument was so large that the sculptor designed and built his own villa and studio where the work could be carried out. It was unveiled in 1915 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Jan Hus' martyrdom. The memorial was designed by Ladislav Šaloun and paid for solely by public donations.

Born in 1369, Hus became an influential religious thinker, philosopher, and reformer in Prague. He was a key predecessor to the Protestant movement of the sixteenth century. In his works he criticized religious moral decay of the Catholic Church. Accordingly, the Czech patriot Hus believed that mass should be given in the vernacular, or local language, rather than in Latin. He was inspired by the teachings of John Wycliffe.
