The Přemyslid kings built Špilberk as a royal castle in the 13th century in Brno, and King Ottokar II completed it. The article names no architect, and it states no materials or dimensions.
In later centuries the castle was rebuilt as a Baroque citadel. It then served as a prison, and the prison was dissolved in 1855. The article gives no date for the Baroque rebuilding and does not say who designed the fortifications, so both are left open.
The castle was reconstructed in 1939 to 1941. Since 1960 it has been the seat of the Brno City Museum. The article gives no opening hours or admission prices, so access is marked as unverified.
