The history of the aristocratic residence
in Paskov dating from the 14th century.
It acquired its current form mainly in
the second half of the 19th and at the
beginning of the 20th century.
Since 2014, when the castle complex and
the adjacent park became city property, it
has been used for exhibitions of painters,
graphic artists and photographers, as well
as for a place of cultural and other social
events. These include Dny regionů (Days
of the Regions), Pohádkový zámek (the
Fairytale Castle), the Children‘s Folklore
Festival and the Paskovská devítka (CrossCountry Race). From the permanent
exhibitions, a unique set of twenty-seven
models of wooden churches, chapels
and bell towers of the Těšín and northeastern Moravia regions and a gallery
of twenty-one plastic coats of arms of
Paskov holders will be interesting. The
group of five statues reminiscent of Greek
mythological motifs in the castle park
is also exceptional, in which centuriesold trees provide shade and a romantic
atmosphere.
