Chodovsk\u00e1 tvrz: Gallery and Spaces<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The history of Chodovsk\u00e1 tvrz dates back to the second half of the 13th century. <\/span><\/h2>

Originally a medieval water fortress, it served as a defensive residence surrounded by a moat. Over the centuries, it changed owners and its appearance\u2014from the Order of the Knights of St. John to the Benedictines, who rebuilt it into a Baroque chateau in the 17th century. <\/span><\/h2>

The fortress acquired its current Neoclassical appearance with an arcaded courtyard at the beginning of the 19th century under the leadership of the Korb of Weidenheim family. <\/span><\/h2>

The building underwent a major transformation in the 20th century. After a period of decay, the fortress was sensitively renovated for cultural purposes between 1984 and 1988. <\/span><\/h2>

Historical elements were preserved and integrated with modern uses, creating a unique space in the heart of Ji\u017en\u00ed M\u011bsto. Today, Chodovsk\u00e1 tvrz is a popular cultural center operated by the organization KULTURN\u00cd JI\u017dN\u00cd M\u011aSTO, o.p.s. <\/span><\/h2>

We offer a rich program: concerts and exhibitions in historical halls and galleries; seasonal outdoor events (VLNY, Witches’ Night, Children’s Day, St. Nicholas Procession); and civil ceremonies and weddings in a unique historical atmosphere. <\/span><\/h2>

Chodovsk\u00e1 tvrz is a place where rich history meets the modern social life of Prague 11.<\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
