Pátek Castle was originally a summer palace built between 1544 and 1557 by John the Younger of Lobkowitz, one of the richest noblemen in the Czech Kingdom. It is one of the first purely Renaissance buildings in Bohemia. Towards the end of the 17th century it was rebuilt in Baroque style and surrounded by a farmyard.

In the building of the former municipal weighing scale there is a permanent exhibition dedicated to the deportations of Jews to Terezín and the deportations from the Terezín ghetto to the labour camps and especially to the extermination camps. The exhibition is not open all the time and can only be visited by appointment.

The exposition is mainly devoted to the Czech naval school ship La Grace. But you can also learn about the maritime history of the Czech lands.

Discover the forgotten story of the town and the fortress. Explore fortification models, historical plans, paintings and centuries-old finds that will show you this city full of life and the fate of specific people. The local museum will guide you through the story of the fort from its founding to the early 20th century.

Promotion, accessibility, maintenance and repair of the Terezin fortress.

One of the main goals of the whole project is to promote the fortress in a popular way. The visitor should get to know it as a living and functioning entity.

Discover the ingenuity of the builders and defenders of our fortress. Explore the labyrinth of underground passages and discover its purpose. The tour will take you to places you wouldn't otherwise see. Venture into the mysterious underground by lantern light.

We offer a tour of Karel Hynek Mácha's room where the poet lived and died on 6 November 1836. The memorial presents Mácha's life in the town and his works.
