🇨🇿 Litomyšl Castle | Czech Nobility’s Poetic Expression

#holidayitinerary 📍 UNESCO World Heritage Site Tucked in the artistic town of Eastern Bohemia, Litomyšl Castle is a masterpiece of 16th-century Renaissance architecture. Unlike Prague’s castles, which symbolize imperial power, Litomyšl embodies the elegance and taste of Czech nobility. Its most striking feature is the Sgraffito façades—over 8,000 hand-etched motifs covering the exterior walls, creating a visual symphony of black-and-white patterns. Bathed in sunlight, the castle feels like stepping into a living illustration, a unique blend of history, art, and architecture in Central Europe.
