Mikulov Castle is a Renaissance palace located in the town of Mikulov, in the southern part of the Czech Republic. It was originally built in the 13th century as a Gothic castle, and later underwent extensive renovations in the Renaissance style during the 16th and 17th centuries.

The castle served as a residence for various noble families throughout its history, including the Liechtensteins, who owned it from 1560 to 1945. During this time, the castle was used as a center of cultural and social life in the region, and the Liechtensteins made many significant improvements to the castle and its surroundings.

Today, the castle is open to the public as a museum, featuring exhibits on the history of the castle and the surrounding area. Visitors can explore the castle's various rooms and halls, including the ceremonial hall, chapel, and apartments of various historical figures. The castle is also surrounded by beautiful gardens and vineyards, and is a popular destination for wine tourism.
