Mikulov
The baroque castle perched on the rocky Castle Hill is the landmark of Mikulov. Originally a medieval fortress granted to the Liechtenstein family in 1249, it passed to the Dietrichsteins in the 16th century, who gave it its current baroque form after a fire in 1719. Rebuilt after burning down in 1945, it now houses the Regional Museum with permanent exhibitions on history, viticulture and the Dietrichstein dynasty. A highlight is the giant Renaissance wine barrel of 1,014 hl capacity kept in the castle cellars.
