Sgrafík's Journey

Discover Litomyšl with a Smiling Friend

A long time ago, when sculptor Olbram Zoubek and his friends were restoring the facade of Litomyšl Castle, they forgot about a small note. Time passed, the note came to life—and Sgrafík was born, a cheerful companion with just one problem: he’s missing the image on his belly.

Join him on an adventurous quest for the lost motif and discover the most beautiful spots on the castle hill along the way. Olbram’s granddaughter Maruška will also guide you through the game, with plenty of tips and challenges in store for you.

What’s it all about?

Sgrafík’s Journey is a family game that combines fun with learning about history, art, and architecture. A new challenge awaits you at every stop—and with each one you complete, you’re one step closer to helping Sgrafík regain his original form. You’ll visit these places:

  • The Castle’s History Labyrinth – Game panels with moving parts and secret passages will introduce you to the lives of courtiers and the castle’s notable figures.

  • Game Stations in the Castle Courtyard – Five stations offer activities that Renaissance courtiers, scholars, and artists used to enjoy.

  • The Castle Arcades – A unique Renaissance gallery with views of the castle courtyards.

  • Castle Cellars – The cool, dark cellars of the castle house a significant collection of sculptures by Olbram Zoubek, as well as the wax sculpture *Heart for Václav Havel*.

  • Regional Museum – In the exhibition “Please Come In,” you’ll find a miniature town square with houses once inhabited by famous residents of Litomyšl.

  • Church of the Finding of the Holy Cross – A Baroque church with a family playroom and views of the city and the surrounding countryside.

  • Monastery Gardens – The perfect place to relax under the trees or by the water.

  • Portmoneum – A house filled with Josef Váchal’s magical paintings, featuring an impressive video mapping display in the attic.

Where to start and what do you need?

You can pick up your game map at several locations—at the Information Center in the castle brewery, at the Information Center on Smetana Square, or directly at some of the stations.

You’ll want to bring a marker or crayons with you. You’ll be gradually sketching Sgrafík’s likeness, which you’ll reveal together.

Once you’ve completed all the tasks, head back to the castle information center. There, you’ll place your completed game plan inside Sgrafík’s body—and help him take on his final form.
