Kunětická hora Castle

The castle lies on Kunětická hora Hill, about 6 km from the city of Pardubice.

The castle played an important role during the Hussite Wars of the early 15th century, as a fortress of Diviš Bořek of Miletínek.

In 1491 it was bought by Vilém of Pernštejn, who had the castle rebuilt in the late Gothic style, with two towers and a moat.

The castle remained a ruin until the early 20th century, when the Pardubice Museum Society was formed.

The group purchased the site in 1919 and began reconstruction in 1923, according to the plans of architect Dušan Jurkovič.
