In the 17th and 18th centuries the appearance of the castle did not change much.
Only some interior changes were preserved, and the stuccowork of the Knights' hall from the years around 1700 or Rococo paintings in the bedroom and in the Chinese parlour from the 1760s.
Outbuildings were erected around the castle; a new Baroque chapel with fresco paintings by Francis Gregor Ignacus Eckstein from 1716 replaced the older castle chapel.
The new owners had their coat-of-arms sculpted in the rock, and kept on spreading the original park.
East of the barbican there is an old yew-tree connected with the tales of the foundation of the castle.
Its circuit is 4.5 metres (15 ft) and it is the oldest and biggest yew in the southern Moravian region.

In 1818 the castle came to the hands of the Mitrovský family.
The castle obtained its actual appearance partly down to the Mitrovský family who refused to succumb to the Romantic styles of the 19th century and partly due to the fact that the castle has never suffered at the hands of their enemies.
The gate of the first settlement is protected by the older forward fortifications from the beginning of the 16th century.
In the prolate settlement there are several outbuilding and a renaissance bastion with a gate, into which the original driveway issues.
The road to the castle surmounts the moat and barbican across a baroque bridge.
The corridor between the two ramparts, characteristic of the Pernštejn fortifications, lead to the gate of the second settlement (from the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries) with Gothic-Renaissance marble portal.
The barbican complex and the second settlement are surrounded by a revetted moat, across which a stairway in the south leads to terrace garden.
Gothic bridges issues to the protruding tower of the third gate, through the marble portal of which we can enter the settlement around the inner castle.
On the right, there is a unified Gothic building, which was formed by joining of the gradually accumulated building at the end of the 15th century.
In the southern part built in the mid-15th century there is a large round tower.
Toward the north there spreads a line of Renaissance and older administrative building.
After passing through the Black Gate the way leads across another Gothic bridge to eastern parts of the settlement.
In the east this part ends by a round Clock tower.
In the west a Renaissance chapel adheres to this tower.
The Tower of Four Seasons called by the colourful glass in the windows was originally smaller and was incorporated in the rampart during the reign of William I. The access to the bridge into the core of the castle is made on a covered staircase ramp, and the palace core is entered via the late-Gothic portal.
The passage leads directly to the main communication space of the castle, the passage to the right leads to the small Tyrolian Yard.
In the northwestern corner of the castle core there stands five-storey Barborka tower with an edge turned toward the driveway.
A two-tract palace stood in the south, with its cellars partly dug in the rock.
The large Knights' hall on the first floor was completely rebuilt and its Renaissance vault was decorated with stuccowork and fresco paintings.

During the rule of John I the last medieval expansion of residential and representative rooms was achieved: the new renaissance palace was attached to the core and the residential tower in the southeast.
On the ground floor there is a vaulted passage of the Black Gate, on the first floor there is a big hall with three fields of Renaissance cross vault used as a library since the 19th century.
The first floor contains five representative chambers, the largest of which is the picture gallery.
With the exception of Baroque ceilings and Rococo decoration they are preserved in the original Renaissance form.

During the reconstruction works on Pernštejn dozens of inscriptions (in Czech, German and Latin) and paintings dating back mostly to the mid-16th century were discovered under the passage plastering.
They are an interesting proof of the life in the castle an
