Located just 12 kilometers northwest of Brno's city center and easily accessible by public transit, Veverí Castle's (Hrad Veverí) good looks are enhanced by its commanding position high above the River Svratka.

 Founded in the 11th century, this stunning structure's present appearance features numerous additions and changes made up until the medieval period.

 After changing hands and nationality many times — the castle was once even owned by wealthy English landlords, and hosted Winston Churchill in his younger years — the castle lay dormant for decades, but thanks to recent renovations is now certainly worth a visit.
