The Horažďovice Town Museum has been housed in the town's castle since 1946 - a originally Gothic stronghold later rebuilt with Renaissance and Baroque elements. Permanent exhibitions cover folk culture, mineralogy and the Prácheň marionettes; the great hall with 17th-century frescoes and the castle chapel are open on guided tours. The castle is also known as a filming location for the Czech film Kladivo na čarodějnice (Witchhammer). The complex includes a town gallery, a tourist information centre and an interactive workshop of traditional Šumava crafts.
