Rožmberk nad Vltavou (21 km)

The town of Rožmberk lies in the valley of the Vltava River, amidst virgin nature, on the fringe of the nature reserve of Dolní Jílovice. The town was founded midway through the 13th century. Its name suggests that it is connected with the aristocratic House of Rožmberk. Among the well known names which you may remember with regard to Rožmberk is, for example, Petr Vok or the White Lady Perchta.

Castle Rožmberk

The castle was subjected to several changes throughout the centuries. Out of the original “complex of two castlers”, only one survived. The gothic castle was transformed into a comfortable renaissance mansion and, in the 19th century, a romantic museum accessible to the public was set up in the chateau. In the interiors, you will find valuable collections of paintings, weaponry, furniture, porcelain, and glass. A legend has it that the White Lady Prchta of Rožmberk appears at the castle. You can see her portrait in the Rožmberk Hall. More information on the castle can be acquired at www.hrad-rozmberk.cz.
