Eddie was a fantastic tour guide. Knowledgeable, sense of humor, and great English. The grounds are beautiful. The calvados was delightful. We can't wait to share what we are bringing back.

Great tour in a beautiful setting. The guide was very helpful and knowledgeable (I think his name is Antoine?- he did an amazing job) I would highly recommend a visit this Calvados Distillery to all my friends visiting the region

My father bought a bottle of Calvados aged for twenty years, called Réserve des Seigneurs (the Lords’ reserve!), and... my goodness! It is, so to say, complex, velvety, sweet and refreshing at the same time. Personally, if I did not know it, I would never be able to tell it comes from apples. It is honestly one of the best drinks I have ever had.

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.
