Moravská Třebová was originated as a typical colonizing town on the chessboard ground plan in the 13th century. The most significant architectural sights are Renaissance and Baroque buildings. Here has preserved one of the oldest Renaissance sights in our country – the castle gate, dated from 1492.In the Late Renaissance style was built the chateau with mannerist arcades. The group of sculptures “Kalvárie” on the hill “Křížový vrch” or the Plaque column on the town square are the examples of Baroque culture. Recently the town can offer cultural program by the Chateau festivities (knights tournaments, fire-works), by the festival “Days of Slovak culture” or by unique collections of oriental art (e.g. an original Egyptian mummy).
