An eighteenth-century fortress across the River Ohře that the Gestapo turned into a police prison between 1940 and 1945: through its cells, courtyards and tunnels passed thousands of political prisoners, many of whom died here or in the camps. You walk through the courtyards, the communal cells, the showers, the tunnel and the execution yard; in front is the National Cemetery. The combined ticket includes the sites of the former ghetto, in the town.
The guided tour is included in the ticket, but it must be booked; if no guide is available, buy the printed guide or download the audio guide on your phone. Animals are not admitted.
