City Introduction

Telč is a relatively small town famous for having a cozy and quite unique old center with one of the most beautiful market squares in the Czech Republic. The town was probably founded in 1099, and it is known in records dating from 1335. From the middle of the 16th century, Telč’s medieval castle was rebuilt in the Renaissance style, and Gothic houses were rebuilt in the same style.

Despite the city’s modest size, there are great sights in Telč, which since 1992 has been included in UNESCO’s list of world cultural heritage. The center of the town is the elongated market square, Náměstí Zachariáše z Hradce, named after Zacharias of Hradec, who was the master behind the 16th century Renaissance town.

Around the long square you can see rows of fine gabled houses with arcades from the Renaissance and Baroque, and they stand harmoniously and together like an urban monument from its time. The houses were built in the Renaissance, but some were later rebuilt in Baroque architecture. The buildings and atmosphere of the square stand as the visible reason that got Telč included in the list of world cultural heritage.

At the northwestern end of the market square is the city castle Státní zámek Telč, which is a Renaissance castle from the 17th century. Next to the castle you can take a walk in an English-style park, and in this area, you can also visit the churches Kostel svatého Jakuba Staršího and Kostel Jména Ježíš. If you walk out of the city center, you can choose to go through the Upper Gate/Horní brána and the Lower Gate/Dolní brána.
