Reflected in the surface of placid ponds, the picturesque town of Telč is a true real pearl of the Vysočina region. The ancient royal water fort was founded here in the 13th century on the crossroad of busy merchants´ routes. Besides the monumental Renaissance chateau with an English park, the most significant sight is the town square – a unique complex of historical houses in the Renaissance and Baroque styles.
The historical center has been entered on the prestigious UNESCO list of world cultural heritage.
Recently, fine art and music have been playing an important role in the town's cultural life. Several annual music events take place here (such as the "Holidays in Telč" festival ). Telč can be easily reached from the highway Praha-Brno.
