Why visit

A romantic white neo-Gothic chateau above the Vltava, surrounded by landscaped grounds. The Schwarzenberg family transformed the older castle in the nineteenth century into an English-inspired neo-Gothic residence. It is included because it adds a distinctive experience to a realistic Hluboká nad Vltavou or regional itinerary rather than acting as a filler stop.

What you will see

  • Ornate state rooms.
  • Neo-Gothic exterior.
  • Landscaped chateau park.

History

    Combine with nearby České Budějovice only if you have a full day.
