Castle of the Sack

Miesnice Castle, located in the Czech village of the same name, 2 kilometers southeast of Tabor, attracts tourists from all over the world. It was built in 1296 by Prince Zdislav as a defensive fortress. In 1699, the fortress was turned into a Baroque castle, which has survived to this day. Also on the territory of the castle you can see the operating chapel of the XVIII century, the entrance to which is accessible to tourists.

Today, the two-storey castle, painted pale pink, with a red tiled roof, serves as a venue for exhibitions, concerts and cultural seminars. The museum’s permanent exhibitions include “John Kennedy and His Time” and “The Occupation of Czechoslovakia by the Soviet Army.” Also inside the castle you can see a collection of furniture and household items belonging to famous people: diplomat Jan Masaryk, politician Aristide Briand and other prominent historical figures.
