Near the Austrian border is quite large historic town of Znojmo, founded in 1055 river Die. A large settlement, turned into the capital of Moravia, was short-lived: 1145 year it was completely destroyed. However favourable the place was empty for long. In the early thirteenth century king Przemyslaw Otakar I ordered to revive the once glorious city of Znojmo.

Unfortunately, not all historical buildings have been preserved to our time. In 1945 many of them were destroyed by airstrikes. Very badly damaged the historic town Hall. It was only the bell tower and cellars, in which they kept a stock of wine. Survived the Church of St. Nicholas, which was built in 1348 in the Gothic form. He is considered the town's main Church. Beside him is a tall chapel of St. Wenceslas, the observation deck which is accessed.

In the nineteenth century it was given to the hospital for the military, and then donated to the local history Museum, the collections of which are in it now.

Part of its walls are covered with valuable paintings 1134. The ancient artist depicted the owners of the castle and some biblical scenes.
