During Advent, angels flock to the Litomyšl castle hill to watch the programme of the Angel Sundays of Advent. It is full of concerts, fairy tales, lights, bonfires and scented with gourmet specialties from the ongoing market. Come to Litomyšl during Advent! It is truly angelically beautiful in the run-up to Christmas.

The castle hill is a magical place where angels come to visit, especially during Advent. They make their home in the Piarist church, where they accompany visitors through the story of Jesus and guard dozens of nativity scenes at Christmas, as well as the programme of Angel Sundays of Advent. This year, it will again be full of concerts, fairy tales, lights, bonfires and gourmet specialties.

The challenge of the Chateau Hill, addressed to all "home" artists, i.e. those people who create mainly for themselves and their loved ones, was heard by the second lady who came to painting at a ripe old age. After Irena Švecová, the windows of the chateau carriage house are now decorated with an exhibition by Jindřiška Seifertová. Read her short story and make sure to stop by when you pass by the castle. You will get inspired and maybe you will start creating too!

Since the beginning of May 2021, a copy of the famous, often praised statue of the Infant Jesus of Prague has had its home in the Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. It could be said that after more than 300 years, the commemoration of this precious icon is returning to its eventual home.

Life in nature is slowly awakening. Cultural life in museums and galleries is still slumbering. Every day on the castle hill we think about how best to cope with the current situation. That's why we have turned the former café into an improvised gallery that pleases everyone, whatever their precautions.

Has it occurred to you that the situation that has affected us all so much is actually an opportunity to return to the traditional values of the pre-Christmas season? If, after all these years, you want to experience true peace and quiet in the middle of December, we offer you the ideal opportunity to do so.

The Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross in Litomyšl literally shone in a new light. On Friday 17 and Saturday 18 July, visitors had the opportunity to see the Crepuscula light installation, which opened at sunset.

Like the rest of the world, we have been hit by a coronavirus pandemic. We lost a large part of our income overnight. Events stopped, no one stayed with us and we had to close the Church of the Holy Cross to tourists. Now everything is on track, but even though we are saving where we can, we are still short of money in the budget for the period when we had to close everything.

Do you want to get to know Litomyšl really well? Then one day will definitely not be enough. When you are looking for accommodation in Litomyšl, do not miss the opportunity to stay right in the heart of the UNESCO monument and in the house where Bedřich Smetana was born.

The evening tour of the Church of the Finding of the Holy Cross is one of the greatest experiences when visiting Litomyšl. The illuminated installations by Václav Cigler and Michal Motyčka opened new dimensions in the perception of the interior of this Baroque pearl of East Bohemia. The largest illuminated cross in the Czech Republic and a breathing sacrificial table. In the next episode of Strolling around the Castle Hill, join us on an evening adventure to the church.

Coworking Kočárovna is a shared workspace that does not lack anything that should be in every proper office. You simply buy a ticket like you would for a swimming pool, but instead of swimming, you go to work in an equipped office. In the next episode of Sneaking around the Castle Hill in Litomyšl, we will explore what coworking actually looks like and, most importantly, how it works here.

Although we are facing a very uncertain season on the hill this year, we are definitely not giving up and are preparing for the visitors we can't wait to see. Read on to find out when and what we will reopen for you.

In the first part of Strolling around the Castle Hill we will take you to the tower of the Church of the Finding of the Holy Cross, which hides three bells. They have only recently been hung in the tower. What happened to their predecessors? Why is the decoration on the bells unique and what do the bells actually sound like? Come with us on a tour of the hill and find out.

Read on to find out how to plan your trip so you don't spend too much and experience something unusual at the same time.

This year, we've lined up a few opportunities for the public to check out the education festival and get a kick of inspiration.
