The Red Tower was opened in 1998, after the medieval tower located on the school premises has been transformed to accommodate an exhibition area. Exhibitions are focused on individual restoration intervention issues, the understanding of materials used in the past, and old artworks depicting architecture or ancient crafts. Expositions are created with students’ active participation. The tower has an accessible gallery with a view over the city.
The tower offers a stunning view over the city of Litomyšl.
Admission fees:
Adults 30 CZK
Students, children, soldiers, seniors 15 CZK
From July to September, the exposition is open for public; during winter and summer semesters, visits to the tower must be pre-booked.
