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
