Zámek Pardubice is a Renaissance castle, which was first mentioned in 1318. In 1491, at the request of Wilhelm from Pernštejn, the supreme master of the Czech Kingdom, the building was rebuilt into the late Gothic style. He created in Pardubice the administrative center of his extensive landed estates. The entrance portal with a stone bridge was added in 1543. In the 20th century the castle falling into ruin was restored. Currently, the building houses the East Bohemian Museum, which collects about 800,000 works of art.
The pride of the castle are knights' halls, Wojciech's hall, painted coffered ceilings, wall paintings, stonework of window frames, and stellar and cross vaults. In addition, visitors can also admire exhibits of more valuable collections: an exhibition of Czech glass, an exhibition of numismatic weapons, an exhibition of science, an archeological exhibition and an exhibition of the history of Pardubice. The museum is also the initiator of many cultural events.
