Chateau
The former Liechtenstein and later Diestrichstein chateau on the rock has been a unique dominant of the Mikulov skyline for centuries. The original governor ´s castle was donated by Přemysl Otakar II in 1249 to the Liechtenstein family as the fief. In late 16th century the new owners of the seat, the Dietrichstein family, had the chateau reconstructed to the present appearance after the fire in 1719.
...a za jejich vlády získal po požáru v roce 1719 zámek svou dnešní podobu. V roce 1945 při ústupu německé armády zámek do základů vyhořel, avšak díky péči Spolku pro obnovu mikulovského zámku byl v 50. letech náročně opraven. K nejzajímavějším součástem zámku patří zámecká knihovna a sál předků. Nyní je zámek sídlem Regionálního muzea v Mikulově a naleznete zde hned několik zajímavých expozic.
