You can visit our castle between holidays, when every visitor to the Vimperk Museum will be able to print an original New Year's card with the motifs of the castle on a printing press from 1870. We look forward to seeing you!
The Middle Ages
For true history lovers, there is a tour focused on the period when Vimperk was the castle guarding the Golden Path.
Come with us to search for the medieval form of Vimperk Castle! Together we will focus mainly on archaeological research and construction history to explain how the castle looked in the Middle Ages.
With a guide, you will visit the oldest preserved building - the Vlček Tower, stop by the archaeological excavations, see one of the "black" kitchens and take a look into the cellars under the southern wing of the Upper Castle.
