Il percorso

“Celým hradem” combines the imperial rooms with the chapels and the Great Tower’s upper floors. From the palace, visitors continue to the Marian church and view St Catherine’s Chapel from the threshold.

The programme then leads to the Chapel of the Holy Cross, before ending above it in the upper Great Tower, with a view of the castle’s surroundings. This is a separate guided option that includes spaces unavailable on the regular chapels tour.

Per bambini

Rooms first, chapels next, and the tower view at the end. This is the sequence of “Celým hradem”. After the palace, visitors explore the church and look into St Catherine’s Chapel.

Next comes the Chapel of the Holy Cross. Afterwards the guide leads higher, above the chapel, into the upper Great Tower. This extension is not part of the regular chapels tour.
