A Renaissance château, musical roots and walls unlike any you have seen.
Litomyšl brings together elegant architecture and an unexpected imagination. Visit the château, then seek out Portmoneum, a small house whose painted interiors lead into another world. Gardens and a long historic square give the day a gentler rhythm between discoveries.
