First mentioned in 1328

Visitors to the castle can choose from two tours. The small tour includes the chateau interiors and the large tour also includes the chateau chapel and the climb to the chateau tower. Around the castle there is a beautiful park. In the castle moat there is a fun and educational trail of the knight Milota Kolowrat, styled in the spirit of the education of young knights. Children can try their hand at archery, axe throwing and totem climbing.

The chateau offers interiors situated in the beginning of the last century in a small sightseeing circuit. Through the entrance hall, in which you can measure yourself against a medieval knight, you will pass into the Green Dining Room with a playing orchestrion from 1885, and the Representation Room with a ship's trunk, to which is connected an interesting personal story of the Schebek family - the last owners of Zruč. You will also visit the picturesque Ladies' Salon, the Hall of Mirrors, the Supply Corridor and the Moorish Library. Interestingly, each room is decorated in a different style, so you will come across elements of antique, baroque and art nouveau.

In addition, the large sightseeing circuit offers a tour of the family chapel with the altarpiece of St. John of Nepomuk, the castle's romantic bathroom, which impresses with its unusual incorporation of a bathtub into the floor, and especially a climb up the castle tower, where you can get a bird's-eye view of the castle grounds and the entire old building of Zruč nad Sázavou from a height of 36 metres.
