Prerov: Hotels and accommodations

The originally Gothic castle in Přerov was converted into a Renaissance castle around the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries under Karel starší ze Žerotína. The Muzeum Komenského has used the castle for museum purposes since the beginning of the 1930s.

Culture and history

The observation tower “Vyhlídková věž s vedutami Přerova z let 1593–1940” is 43 metres high; 72 steps lead to its steel viewing gallery. At the Památník Jednoty bratrské, an exhibition featuring texts and drawings of archaeological finds is open to the public.

The original alley at the Památník Jednoty bratrské allows visitors to walk along the places where Jan Amos Komenský and Jan Blahoslav once walked. Since the second half of the 19th century, Předmostí u Přerova has made its mark on the history of world archaeology through extensive finds of the remains of Palaeolithic humans and the so-called mammoth fauna.

Parks and nature

Michalov Park has been protected as a cultural monument in Přerov since 1992. Michalov Park has three children’s playgrounds.

The Ornitologická stanice ORNIS is located on the right bank of the Bečva near Michalov Park and the Žebračka National Nature Reserve.
