Kunětice Mountain Castle
Kunětická Hora Castle (in Czech Kunětický hrad) is a castle in the Pardubice Region of the Czech Republic. The castle lies on Kunětice Mountain (Kunětická Hora), about 6 km from the city of Pardubice. The castle played an important role during the Hussite Wars of the early 15th century, during which it was a fortress of Diviš Bořek of Miletinek (Diviš Bořek z Miletínka). In 1491 it was bought by Vilém of Pernštejn (Vilém z Pernštejna), who ordered the castle rebuilt in the late Gothic style, with two towers and a moat. The construction was continued by Vilém's sons in the early Renaissance style. During the Thirty Years' War, in the early 17th century, the castle was besieged several times; at the end of the war Swedish troops burned it to the ground.
