Culture and history
At Pernštejn, visitors can trace the development of the seat from a simple castle through a late Gothic fortress, a Renaissance palace, a Baroque, Rococo and Neoclassical residence, and finally to the Romantic period of the 19th century.
Since September 2018, the permanent exhibition “Expozice stříbrného mincovního pokladu” has been open in historic House No. 32 in Nedvědice. The exhibition of the silver coin hoard contains all 284 coins discovered in 2016 near the settlement of Dolní Čepí, not far from Nedvědice. It also displays white, blue, gray and pink marble from Nedvědice, original stonecutting tools, and information panels on the history of local marble quarrying and processing.
Stonecutting was historically the best-known craft in Nedvědice. Marble from Nedvědice was used in the reconstruction of Pernštejn Castle and the church in Doubravník. The oldest written mention of Nedvědice dates from 1350. Nedvědice probably originated as a settlement below the seat of the Lords of Pernštejn.
The restored garden on the southwestern slope of Pernštejn Castle is a unique ensemble of various garden styles in mountainous terrain unusual for a garden. It includes a formal French garden, a romantic garden, an Anglo-Chinese area and woodland sections.
Nature
The entire cadastral area of Nedvědice and Pernštejn belongs to the Svratecká hornatina Nature Park.
The “Skalní vyhlídka” viewpoint on the path from Pernštejn to Sejřek was professionally reconstructed with a stone staircase in 2015 as part of the educational trails. It offers an unusual view of Pernštejn Castle and is freely accessible year-round. The Maria Laube viewpoint, also called Mařenčino loubí, can be reached from Pernštejn Castle via the yellow-marked hiking trail toward Věžná in about ten minutes on foot and offers a view of the castle.
