| Description | Archaeological and building-historical research carried out during the reconstruction of the south wing of Špilberk Castle in 2011–2012 brought a great deal of new information about the castle’s past. This contribution presents the newly acquired data regarding, in particular, the building and technical ceramics in combination with macroscopic and microscopic samples of the natural building material. Comparison with earlier data will enable the drafting of a hypothetical sequence of the castle’s development from the early Gothic until its baroque reconstruction. |
