Pribyslav is situated in the west of Czech-Moravian Highlands.
The chateau was built around 1560 by reconstructing an old Gothic castle in an Italian Renaissance style. In the 18th century, the chateau was expanded and later remodeled in a Neo-Classical style. Located in the courtyard of the chateau is the original arcaded Renaissance gallery designed as a Tuscan-style colonnade. The chateau is currently the home of the local fire-fighting museum, offering an exhibit of fire-fighting equipment and modern fire detection systems. In addition to a library containing original collections of books as well as a collection of professional publications, the chateau has a ceremonial and lecture hall and several classrooms. The museum is owned by the Czech Association of Firefighters.
