Visit the only museum of military field veterinary kits in the Czech Republic and discover the history of not only Czechoslovak military cynology. Tours always start at 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM. We recommend booking in advance. Tickets for the tours can also be purchased online.
The Veterinary Museum presents field veterinary kits originating from the equipment of the German, Soviet, and Czechoslovak armies from World War I to the 1950s. It is a unique and authentically preserved testament to the care of animals serving in the armed forces.
On display, for example, are:
a kit for the detection and treatment of animals affected by chemical warfare agents
a narcosis kit designed for putting military dogs to sleep
a model of a small horse used as an aid for teaching how to bridle and saddle a horse
a Czechoslovak kit for treating carrier pigeons
modern cynological equipment
Visitors will also learn about the current use of the so-called lower chateau at Grabštejn and its surroundings by the Army of the Czech Republic. Those interested in the tour will also become familiar with the dramatic story of a Grabštejn war hero – the military dog Atos, who participated in a mission in the Afghan province of Logar.
Tours always start at 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM. We recommend booking in advance. Tickets for the tours can also be purchased online.
This is a continuous multi-day event
