Chateau Třebíč

Combination of a Benedictin monastery and a chateau - the monastery was founded in 1101, and was a very important seat of power and economical centre for many centuries. It was often expanded, the main part today is the St. Procopius Basilica from 13th Century. Because of it´s importance, the monastery was often under attack, and also the main educational centre of the whole county. It was occupied by Hussites in 1421-1426, after the Hussite wars heavily fortified, and was the last defense position in 1468, after the city of Třebíč was conquered by Hungarians. Czech defenders under the command of king´s brother held out i the monastery for many weeks, until they had to vacate it because of no chance for a victory. The monastery was heavily damaged, the church burned down. The whole complex was taken from the church and give to the Pernštejn family after 1486, and extensive repairs began - the last monks were driven out in 1525. Damaged parts have been demolished, and new renaissance buildings were built, to change it into a chateau. The basilica was changed into a brewery. The chateau was maintained the whole time until 1945, when it was confiscated by the state from its German owner, it was not devastated in the communist era, new repairs were done in the modern era, and the whole complex became a UNESCO world cultural heritage site in 2018. There are also numerous museums, including a Jaguar car museum.
