Písek
is a town in the South Bohemian Region. This town
was, up to its serious damage in 1620, one of the biggest towns in
Bohemia. It is considered to be of prehistorical origin (about 900 BC,
when it was officially built in the 13th century - but in these times
one part of this town had been still inhabited by descendants of Celts. The oldest town in the area of modern Písek ("Písek"
in fact means "sand") was Hradiště (Oppidum on top of Hradiště hill).
Close to this place two graves of Celtic kings can be found. Písek has
still his unique atmosphere and has a well-preserved, picturesque
medieval centre. A large part of Písek was built in 19th century, so one
can still find there many buildings built in classical or neo-styles. In Písek is the oldest bridge
(Písek stone bridge) in the Czech Republic (and
the second oldest in the whole central European region).
In the historical
quarter of the town of Písek and in the immediate surroundings of the
one-time royal castle (today the Prácheň museum), you will find the
reconstructed
Malt-House
of the Písek Brewery. The beautiful
wood-scented premises of the malthouse, with their astonishing
acoustics, provides perfect ambient for the workshop arrangement.
