Mikulov combines a compact historic centre with the open vineyards of South Moravia in a way that reflects its position beneath the Pálava Hills, close to the Austrian border. Mikulov Castle rises above the town on a rocky outcrop and now houses the Regional Museum in Mikulov, while its cellars contain a giant wine barrel. The nearby Holy Hill is marked by the Baroque Chapel of St Sebastian and the Stations of the Cross. A former Jewish quarter, synagogue and extensive Jewish cemetery recall the town’s once significant Jewish community. Wine traditions remain central to Mikulov’s identity, especially during the harvest season. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Mikulov and South Moravia.
