Chateau Žirovnice [ Castle - chateau ]
Originally a castle from the 14th century rebuilt into a renaissance chateau under Jáchym and Adam of Hradec.
At the beginning of the 17th century the south tower of the chateau served as a prison. During the thirty years´ war the castle was destroyed and it was only at the turn of the 17th century that it was renovated.
After 1910 the premises were used for apartments and offices.
In 1974 new renovations were started and exhibits of the National Technical Museum were placed in the repaired wing.
