The castle is attracting visitors at the turn of the year 2024-25 with exhibitions like the Museum of the Century, Glass Fish Created, and Inspiration from Indigo Printing.

Vsetín Observatory (open on weekdays from 9 AM to 3 PM)

Since 2005, the Vsetín Observatory has been part of the Museum of the Valašsko Region. We recommend that larger groups register in advance at phone number 737 211 819. Every Friday evening, regular observations of the night sky take place.

The monument in the Empire style is located at Zámecká No. 3, near the main road leading from Valašské Meziříčí towards Hranice. If you are arriving from the roundabout at the intersection of Rožnovská, Vsetínská, and Nádražní streets, turn right onto Krásenská street after 100 m, then left through Záhumení until you reach Zámecká street. Coming from Hranice, turn right 100 m before the mentioned roundabout, and you will find yourself right at the castle with barrier-free access.

The Kinský Castle is not a classic castle with historical rooms, but a museum that offers a wealth of experiences and interesting knowledge. The main attraction is the permanent exhibition "Man in the Landscape, Landscape in Man." Visitors walk through rooms representing different epochs of history and observe how the relationship between humans and the surrounding nature has changed. At the end of November, the exhibition "Valašské Vánoce" (Valašsko Christmas) started, which will be replaced by the exhibition "Traces of Genius" in early February 2025.

IN THE DJA RESERVE, THE SNOW-WHITE GUERÉZY YOUNGSTER IS SEEING FOR THE FIRST TIME.
A baby mantle guereza has been born at Prague Zoo. This is the first addition of these African monkeys in the Dja Reserve pavilion. It is also the first Prague baby of the rarer Kikuyu subspecies, which the zoo has been keeping since the beginning of this year. Unlike its black-and-white parents, the baby is snow-white, a color that will only last for a few weeks. The female Lebamba is a first-time mother, but she has taken on her role well. However, it is important to remember that the baby, whose sex is still unknown, has not yet overcome the critical period. It is already on display in the main exhibition of the pavilion, which, along with the guerezas, is inhabited by a family group of lowland gorillas.
