Rotunda of St. Catherine

The Rotunda stands on the second courtyard of the Znojmo Castle as the only witness of the oldest days of the town of Znojmo and perhaps even the oldest standing building on our territory. The Rotunda has been included in the list of national cultural monuments since 1962. It is ranked third in the order of importance right behind Prague Castle and Karlštejn. The inner walls of the Rotunda are plastered and decorated with wall paintings, which apart from the traditional biblical themes represent a gallery of Přemyslid monarchs with the central motif of the Přemysl Oráč occupation on the princely throne..
