The exhibition is housed in the Renaissance malt house in the grounds of the former Kotnov Castle. It is dedicated to the unique finding from 2001, when, during the reconstruction of house no. 308, two ceramic vessels filled with four thousand silver coins were discovered. This treasure is one of the most important coin hoards from the Jagiellonian period made in the country.

Underground Passages

The roughly 650 metres that are open represents just a fraction of Tábor’s underground passages, which are some of the longest in the Czech Republic and date back to the 15th century. The corridors arose by digging and linking multi-storey cellars under the houses in the old town and served mainly for storing food and beer. During large fires they also provided good shelter. The entrance to the cellars and the ticket office is located at the Town Hall and Museum.

Open: year-round, Admission: CZK 50, extra for a guided tour in a foreign language, CZK 200 for a group

Kotnov Castle and Bechyńská Gate

This is the oldest monument in Tábor dating from the second half of the 13th century. Time and fires led to its losing its defensive significance so much so that in 1612-1613 it was converted into a brewery. Only one of the four towers of Kotnov Castle has remained and it is open to the public. Here you will find the exhibition “The Life and Work of Medieval Society”. There is also an exhibition called “Tábor’s Treasure”, which holds nearly 4,000 silver coins. Follow Klokotská Street from the square to get to the castle.

Open: May-September weekends only
