Perched on a rise near the twin towns of Rájec-Jestřebí stands the impressive late Baroque chateau Rájec nad Svitavou. This national cultural monument, built in the second half of the 18th century as an elegant maison de plaisance, originated from the reconstruction of an older fortress and a Renaissance residence. Its architectural style and location reflect the period's pursuit of harmony and representation. Today, the chateau is state-owned and managed by the National Heritage Institute, which ensures its care. Visitors thus have a unique opportunity to explore its interiors and soak in the atmosphere of noble life from past centuries.
