Vyšehrad Underground

Casemates to the redoubt at Vyšehrad

Visit the newest part of the underground, completed by the French army, and the artillery redoubt, which offers a unique view of Prague Castle.

The casemates under the bastion of St. Leopold were completed in the mid-18th century. They served the military garrison for quick and unnoticed movement within the fortifications. The entrance to the underground is from the Brick Gate, where the guardhouse was located. The corridors lead to the artillery redoubt.

The casemates to the redoubt are only accessible as part of special tours and by appointment.

Practical information can be found below on this page.
