Pernštejn Castle (Czech: hradPernštejn, from German: Bernstein, originally from Bärenstein) is a castle located on a rock above Nedvědice, below which are the two rivers Svratka and Nedvědička, about 40 km (25 mi) northwest of Brno, in the South Moravian region of the Czech Republic. Pernštejn is called the "Marble Castle" because of the use of marble-like stone for the frames of doors and windows.

It was established by His Excellency Medlov and probably between 1270-1285. The family lived in the castle and adopted the fashionable name Pernštejn (also written as Pernstein), and the Czech version probably derives from the German name Bärenstein - "Bear Rock". Its history is closely linked to the Pernštejn city master (Pernštejnové) and his descendants. It retains its complete appearance in Gothic and Renaissance forms, as it was completed in the first half of the 16th century by the Pernštejns, the most powerful aristocratic family. Pernštejn is one of the best-preserved castles in the Czech Republic.

One of the most beautiful Moravian castles has now been deep in the forests of the Bohemia-Moravian highlands for eight centuries.
