Regionální muzeum v Českém Krumlově - Rodný dům Adalberta Stiftera v Horní Plané
About This Museum
Tucked away on Palackého street in the quiet Šumava town of Horní Planá, this unassuming burgher's house holds a special secret. It's the very place where the celebrated writer and painter of the Bohemian Forest, Adalbert Stifter, first drew breath. Stepping inside feels less like entering a formal museum and more like wandering through the pages of his stories, where the deep woods and local life come alive. The rooms are filled with his personal effects, from his writing desk to his landscape sketches, all telling the story of a man profoundly shaped by this region.
Collection Highlights
You'll find Stifter's original furniture, including his bed and a beautiful Biedermeier secretary, alongside first editions of his books and his own delicate paintings of the surrounding forest. A poignant exhibit details his later years and tragic death in nearby Linz.
Visitor Information
It's a small but deeply rewarding stop. Check the Regionální muzeum v Českém Krumlově website for current opening hours, as they can be seasonal. Don't be in a rush; the true magic is in soaking up the atmosphere of this literary home.
