Kunětická Hora Castle

Kunětická Hora Castle (in Czech Kunětický hrad) is a castle in the Pardubice Region of the Czech Republic. The castle lies on Kunětice Mountain (Kunětická Hora), 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 Miletinek (Diviš Bořek z Miletínka). Today the castle is open to the public as a museum. It has the oldest known Renaissance mural in Bohemia, a 1523 work depicting Samson and Delilah. The castle also hosts music and theatrical performances. © istock/Ccat82
