July 28, 2026, View of Veveří Castle and Brno Reservoir

In its largely preserved form, the castle with its fortifications, including redoubts, moats, and bastions, dates from the mid-13th century. It was built as a Bohemian royal castle. The palace has a lattice tower. The early Gothic castle chapel of the Virgin Mary stands apart on the grounds of the former outer bailey. The 14th-century image of the Madonna of Veveří can be seen in the Diocesan Museum in Brno.[2] In 1802, the textile manufacturer Wilhelm von Mundy bought the castle with the associated lordship and the Ritschans estate. Johann von Mundy and his wife took up residence at the castle. Their son Jaromír von Mundy was born in Eichhorn. Later, it became the summer residence of Prince Gustav von Wasa-Holstein-Gottorp, whose daughter, the later Queen Carola of Saxony, spent her childhood years here. In 1896, the castle came into the possession of the English nobleman Maurice Arnold de Forest. His childhood friend, the later British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, visited Veveří Castle a total of three times. In 1908, Churchill, then Minister of Trade, and his wife Clementine spent part of their honeymoon at the castle. Since 1925, the castle has been state property (then Czechoslovak) and is currently undergoing extensive renovation. From 1942 to 1945, it served German troops as a Wehrmacht and SS hospital.

Doable but watch out. It allows to reach the beginning of the running path from around the castle. Funny!

This path winds along the last stretch of the river that reaches the Brno Dam, allowing (by MTB or running) to go along it while admiring a stupendous panorama.

In the castle (entrance fee applies) there is a bistro (Bistro Winston), the castle tavern in the old forge and a wine bar with Moravian wines. https://www.hrad-veveri.cz/cs

Easily reacheable from Brno, perfect starting point for a beautiful run along the Brno Lake, to get back to the city. Definitely worth a try! p.s. watch out since finding the initial path from the castle can be a little bit tricky but it was adventurous, at least for me :)

Built in 1771-82 on the site of an inadequate church building from the 15th century. A late Baroque one-nave building, the chancel is finished with a segmental finial, there is a prismatic tower above the western facade. Four bells from the 17th century are installed in the tower. Jakub, Mary, the meridian and the dying man. The main altar from 1807-10, it includes an altarpiece of St. Jakub and on the sides of the statue of St. Cyril and Methodius.
