Ledec nad Sazavou is the third largest town in the Havlickuv Brod region. Established in the first half of 13th century, Ledec nad Sazavou Castle was renovated over the course of its life in the Renaissance and Baroque styles, making it one of the most beautiful castles in the Czech Republic. Its most recent renovation took place after a fire in 1879, and in spite of the renovative work done, many structural architectural elements have survived, such as the cylindrical tower, the Renaissance loggia, and two gates. The castle’s museum is located on the ground floor of the Maly palac (Small Palace) in the castle’s upper courtyard. The exposition features a one-of-a-kind installation that depicts how museums presented their exhibits in the 1930s.
