The word moped originates from Norwegian and is a combination of the words motor and pedaler (pedals).

These fascinating vehicles, powered by both an engine and human effort, can be admired in the extensive and unique collection of Jiří Čejchan from Prague.

The collection is open to visitors every year from April to October in the historic Baroque granary at Nové Hrady Castle near Litomyšl.

With its remarkable number and variety of exhibits, the collection is considered one of a kind in Europe. The exhibition occupies three floors of the beautifully restored Baroque granary.

The Moped Museum is part of the Nové Hrady Castle complex, and admission is included in the entrance fee to the 20-hectare estate.

In addition to the magnificent Rococo castle, visitors can explore a unique collection of beautifully landscaped gardens.
