Pernštejn Castle is a castle located on a rock above the village of Nedvedice and the rivers Svratka and Nedvedicka, some 40 km northwest of Brno, in the South Moravian Region, Czech Republic. Pernštejn came to be known as the marble castle because of the marble-like stone used to frame the doors and windows.
It was founded by the Lords of Medlov probably between 1270-1285. The family branch seated at the castle and adopted the then fashionable name Pernštejn, which is the Czech version probably derived of the German name, Bärenstein - the "Bear Rock". Its history is closely connected to the Lords of Pernštejn (Pernštejnové) and their descendants. It has kept its intact appearance in the Gothic and Renaissance form as it was finished in the first half of the 16th century by the Pernštejns, then the richest and most powerful lordly family of the Czech kingdom. Pernštejn is one of the best preserved castles in Czech Republic.

[CZ]
Gotický hrad Pernštejn z poloviny 13. století stojí ve východním okraji Ceskomoravské vrchoviny, v katastru obce Nedvedice, a bezesporu patrí k nejvýznamnejším moravským hradum. Jeho bývalé podhradí tvoril mestys. Monumentální stavba Pánu z Pernštejna s jednoduchou bergfritovou dispozicí byla do 16. století nekolikrát prebudována a predevším rozšírena, presto pri premene na reprezentativní a pohodlné sídlo neztratila svou obranyschopnost.
