Zámeček Memorial
About This Museum
It's a sobering truth that this serene, almost pastoral spot was the site of one of the most brutal Nazi reprisals of World War II. The memorial stands not as a grand palace, but as a stark, dignified reminder nestled on the city's edge. You walk through spaces that feel heavy with memory, where personal artifacts and photographs tell the stories of the lives lost. It’s a profoundly moving experience that connects you directly to a pivotal, tragic chapter in Czech history.
Collection Highlights
The exhibits focus on the Ležáky massacre, featuring excavated personal items like a child's shoe and buttons, alongside portraits and biographies of the 194 victims. A central map details the scope of Operation Anthropoid's aftermath across the region.
Visitor Information
It's located just outside central Pardubice, so you might want to drive or take a taxi. The atmosphere is quiet and reflective, making it a place for thoughtful contemplation rather than a quick stop.
Architecture & Building
The building is a reconstructed simple, rectangular manor house—a 'zamecek' or small chateau—with clean, modern lines that respectfully frame the historical gravitas of the location.
