Town of Mammoth History
William of Pernstein took care of local brewing rights, John Amos Comenius educated children of local Brethren, and Marie Andrášková invested in the first functionalist building in town.
Journey to pre-history
Předmostí is the second most populated part of Přerov. Archaeological excavations in the late 19th century uncovered remains of a camp of mammoth hunters. It is the second most important archaeological site in the Czech Republic. If you want to learn more about our ancestors, take the educational trail through the neighbourhood of Předmostí to pre-history.
Fame across Europe
At the Horní Náměstí square there is a row of renaissance houses lining the square, that was pronounced a Cultural Reserve in 1992. The tower of the Přerov Castle soars high above their roofs. The original gothic castle was transformed into a four-winged palace in the 17th century. Unfinished for centuries, its tower was completed only in 1997! The castle has hosted a museum of J. A. Comenius since 1887 – the first Comenian museum in the world. No wonder! The town of Přerovplayed an important role in the life of the famous philosopher. Comenius studied there, and later became a teacher at the local school of the Unity of the Brethren.
