Czech Republic cultural heritage and landmarks

Overview

Cultural heritage in the Czech Republic is being highlighted through interactive digital engagement, detailed historical profiles, and active use for cultural and media productions.

Digital efforts include online quizzes designed to test knowledge of UNESCO World Heritage sites and famous monuments. Specific historical sites continue to serve as venues for diverse activities, such as the Karlštejn Chateau and the Kuklov monastery.

Recent developments show an increase in active programming and film production. Sovinec Castle is scheduled to host historical fencing, drumming, and a special evening show titled ‘Ďábel přichází’. In the Kutná Hora region, Zruč Castle will face limited access due to the filming of the fairy tale ‘Líné království’, alongside the production of television series such as ‘Komisařka Anna’ and ‘Stoupenkyně’.

A major focus is the annual Castle and Chateau Night, organized by the National Heritage Institute, which involves approximately 140 historical monuments. This event features special evening programs, including night tours, musical performances, and themed activities at state-owned, private, and municipal sites.

Specific highlights for the event include programs at Horšovský Týn State Chateau inspired by Japan and the life of Countess Michiko Coudenhove-Kalergi. Litomyšl Castle will present 18th-century theater, while Švihov features falconry demonstrations. Other sites include campfire gatherings at Házmburk and Trosky, and unguided night tours at Landštejn and Rabí. Loučeň Castle is hosting an extended program titled “Nobility on the Move,” focusing on 19th-century travel and the Thurn-Taxis family, featuring chocolate-themed tours, stargazing, and light shows.

Furthermore, new tourist attractions are emerging, such as the opening of a medieval castle section in Bečov nad Teplou, which provides public access to areas previously inaccessible to visitors.
