Špilberk: Co se odehrávalo v temných kasematech?

Spilberk Castle above Brno transformed from a royal residence into the most feared prison of the Habsburg Monarchy. We investigate what truly happened in the dark casemates and how the regime punished its prisoners. Spilberk completely changed its original purpose and became a tool of absolute isolation. Builders gradually bricked up windows, deepened moats, and rebuilt internal corridors into impenetrable cells for convicts. These structural changes meant the absolute end of any hope for escape and turned the Brno hill into a place of severe suffering for prisoners from all over Europe.
