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.

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.

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.

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.
