Nove Mesto nad Metuji

Nové Město nad Metují is best known in Czechia for its Renaissance castle and arcaded Husovo Square. The town occupies a rocky promontory almost encircled by the Metuje River, giving its compact historic centre a clearly defined setting. Founded in 1501, it developed as a planned town, and the square’s long row of burgher houses with covered arcades remains its civic core. The castle was rebuilt in Renaissance form after a 16th-century fire and its gardens are associated with architect Dušan Jurkovič. Beyond the centre, the Metuje valley leads towards the wooded foothills of northeastern Bohemia.
