Pernstejn Castle
|
|
With its stunning location atop a craggy spur, it is no mistake that Pernstejn castle has been used as a stand in for fairytale castle in multiple movies. Originally built as a fortress in the 13th Century, the castle was never conquered. Over time and with various owners, it has evolved into its present form of a mix of Gothic, Renaissance and baroque styles.
Some of the highlights of the castle shown on the 80 minute tour are the wooden bridge that visitors must cross to enter one of the keeps. Those afraid of heights may find this crossing this bridge somewhat scary as the drop from this bridge would undoubtedly be fatal.
Other areas of interest in the castle are the library with more than 6000 titles, the baroque Knight's Hall with its stucco swags, and the Hall of Conspirators with neo Gothic furnishings.
A restaurant and lounge are located between one set of defensive walls, probably not what the original designers had in mind.
