The local experience
Former moated castle transformed by the Pernštejn lords at the turn of the 15th–16th centuries into a Renaissance residence protected by earthen ramparts, bastions and a moat. It houses the East Bohemia Museum.
A 16th-century gate tower, about 59 meters tall, marking the entrance to the historic center via Pernštýnské náměstí. The name, Green Gate, comes from its copper roof that turned green over time. The upper gallery serves as a viewpoint.
Gothic castle on top of an isolated hill about 6 km from Pardubice, rebuilt by the Pernštejn family with towers and a system of bastions. It has a palace, chapel, viewing tower and interiors restored by architect Dušan Jurkovič.
Gingerbread and fairy-tale museum in an old 1882 hunting pavilion at the foot of Kunětická hora. It shows the history of Pardubice perník, a collection of decorated gingerbreads and scenes from the story of Hansel and Gretel.
