Sights:

The Town Hall was founded at the turn of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. The present late Renaissance character is the result of rebuilding from 1567. The corners of the 44 meter high tower have been cut away from the bottom into an eight-sided figure. It was, at that time, a seat of municipal power and there was even a torture chamber here. From 1849 to 1959 it was the seat of local justice. At present there is Local Authorities, information centre and the Otakar Kubín gallery.

The Castle dates back to the middle of the thirteenth century. Boskovice castle was owned by descendants of the nobility of Boskovice whose heraldic coat of arms with a seven-tooth crest later became a symbol of the town Boskovice. This noble seat changed its ownership several times, over seven hundred years history it gradually expanded. The castle was abandoned in the seventeen - thirties when it was no longer suitable for living in. At present the castle is owned by the Mensdorff - Pouilly family. Only the ruins of the tryside remain from the originally intact building. The 26 meter deep well which is driven by a wooden wheel represents a unique attraction, the only functioning one in this country. When you come to visit the castle you will be welcomed by a rounded tower and renaissance battlements. During the summer time various cultural activities take place in the castle grounds."
