Dolní Kounice Castle

Protector of the Rosa Coeli Convent

The Gothic castle is one of the oldest in the Czech Republic. It was built to defend the famous convent that stands at its foot and also to protect the crossing of the trade route over the Jihlava River. Later it was rebuilt into a residence, but it still retains elements of its fortifications. The dilapidated castle was returned to private hands in restitution and has been flourishing ever since. People also like to choose it as a place for romantic weddings.
