Fort Boskovštejn

A water fort from early 16th century, which underwent many changes, often becoming a wheat silo, later reconstructed into a chateau, only to become a silo again in the 19th Century. The bulding became part of the South Moravian museum in 1972, and a long restoration began. After 1990 a new owner finished the reconstruction, but then went bankrupt and the fort stood empty for many years. Finally a bicycle museum opened in 2018, which is the largest in Europe, and one of the largest in the world.
