A very interesting historical landmark and surroundings. We enjoyed a lovely and tasty lunch lunch.

Fine food and snacks,, but the building is very nice, you can go into a room next to the cafe and there you’ll find some more old rooms from the fort.

Camped here for one night. Quite a lovely place, worth a visit! We were in luck with a quiet moment, apparently it can get very crowded during the weekends and holidays. Sanitary building was kept neat. There was also a possibility to keep any groceries cold in a fridge and take shelter in case of bad weather. The only minus that stood out was the little space between the camping spots.

Stopped here for a quick lunch on a cycling trip. Had a salmon club which was delicious as well as a radler and a coffee. No English menu but the staff helped me through it. Went to pay with visa (all I had on me) and we learned it was not possible. They were gracious enough to provide my lunch on the house! Bottom line great food and hospitable staff!

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.
