Culture

The Židovský (Dolní) Bridge in Brtnice is a Baroque stone bridge decorated with six art-historically valuable statues of saints by the local sculptor D. Lipart. The view from the Židovský Bridge of the château is sometimes referred to as “Brtnické Hradčany.” Brtnice Château is considered one of the important aristocratic residences in Moravia.

The château contains the so-called Sál vjezdů, with stucco decoration from the 1730s. It also contains a valuable, unique cycle of 11 hanging paintings by the painter Töpper. The oldest surviving gravestone in Brtnice’s Jewish cemetery dates from 1672. The Paulánský Monastery was built between 1639 and 1644.

The parish Church of sv. Jakuba Většího also preserves a remarkable detail: a richly decorated Renaissance copper baptismal font in the shape of an apple on a branch.

The Josef Hoffmann Museum is located in the birthplace of the architect and designer Josef Hoffmann in Brtnice. Seasonal exhibitions are held there every year and are attended not only by specialists but also by the general public.
