This unique museum in Bohemia and perhaps even in Europe is located in the Zručský dvůr area, just a few steps from the castle. It presents the history of boating in Bohemia.
Rumour says that a section of text and the letters ‘MCL’ were once found on the masonry of the church and this could indicate the date when the church was established, 1150 and this could also more closely specify the foundation of Zruč.
The history of Kácov is connected with the local chateau, originally a Baroque fortress, built in 1723-1733 by Princess Anna Maria Franziska of Tuscany. In 1918, the castle became the property of the state, and in 2008 the town became its owner. The castle is currently closed and undergoing reconstruction.
There is an interesting exhibition of medieval weapons inside the former headquarters. Each floor of the tower is interactive and playfully introduces children to the history of the building, period tools and weapons reminiscent of the castle's defence in the Middle Ages. From the crown of the 20-metre high tower, you can enjoy a magnificent view of the entire castle grounds of Zruč.
The regional museum on the ground floor of the zruč chateau presents the local tradition of shoemaking. There are sewing machines, tools used for shoe production, shoe samples and historical photographs.
