Městská galerie Litomyšl - Smetanovo nám. 110

In the beautiful house there is a city gallery, which offers a big surprise for visitors and lovers of art and history.

The beautiful U Rytířů house was built in the Renaissance style in the 1640s. It is one of the most beautiful houses in Litomyšl and one of the gems of Renaissance urban architecture in Bohemia. After a fire in 1540, it was built and decorated by the stonemason Blažek, who probably also worked on the decoration of the Pardubice chateau or built a cemetery church in Vysoké Mýto. The original appearance of the house was complemented by a high Renaissance gable, replaced by the still preserved Empire attic only after the fire in 1814. The stone facade of the house is decorated with embossed decorative and figural decoration, the themes of which are drawn from period graphic designs. The house underwent several modifications, major repairs and conservation in the 1960s, and its facade was restored in 1999-2000. Today, this house houses the Litomyšl Municipal Gallery.

I didn’t go inside, but the facade is the steepest in Litomysl

Nice and interesting gallery, where I always like to go. There used to be a super brown-haired girl on the cash register, and now there's such an unsalted, non-greasy chick, but what else. For me, I will not understand who decided to give the show for the season to Lady "Šrek", a pity for the entrance fee.

Litomyšl's Upper and Lower Squares are lined with remarkable houses, one more interesting than the other. However, this is an extraordinary Renaissance work. Fortunately, it has long housed an art gallery and not some commerce. It has important collections, because the city attracts artists like honey wasps (as well as visitors).
