Pelhrimov Tourist Information

This town, which is located in the west area of Ceskomoravska vrchovina (the Czech-Moravian Highland) is known as the "Gateway to Highland". The town arose in the 13th century and is linked to the Prague Archbishop Pelhrim (Pelegrin in Latin). The preserved part of the fortification along with two gates demonstrate the medieval origin of the town. The Museum of Records and Curiosities is located near one of these gates, near the Jihlavska Gate. The town was ransomed from serfdom at the end of the 16th century and thanks to the privilege of Rudolf II., it became a royal town. The St. Bartolomej Deanery Church along with stations of the cross, which were made according to a design of Frantisek Bilek, and the largely Renaissance St. Vitus´ Church rank among the most beautiful ecclesiastic sights. Also some of the citizen Renaissance houses and the houses, which were built in the cubism style according to a design of Pavel Janak (such as the Faruv House, the Drechsel Villa and other buildings), rank among highlights of the architecture. Today, Pelhrimov is presented as a town of records, due to the Records and Curiosities International Festival, which is held here annually at the second weekend in June.
