Functionalist architecture arrived in this northeast Bohemian town through an unlikely route: the industrialist Josef Bartoň-Dobenín hired architect Dušan Jurkovič and later Josef Gočár to redesign the Renaissance castle interior in a modernist style during the 1920s and 1930s. The result placed Art Deco furniture and functionalist interiors behind a Renaissance facade, creating one of Czechia's more unusual castle experiences.
Nové Město nad Metují has about 10,500 residents and sits at the confluence of the Metuje and Dědina rivers in the Hradec Králové Region. The main square, surrounded by arcaded houses with painted facades, slopes gently toward the castle grounds. Rail services connect to Náchod and onward to Hradec Králové.
The Metuje river valley below the town offers a gentle walking route through woodlands. Peklo, a forested gorge along the river north of town, contains a wooden restaurant from 1904 that serves as both a tourist destination and a listed architectural curiosity. Directory users must be at least eighteen years of age.
