Hluboká nad Vltavou (64 km)

If you happen to be in South Bohemia, you must not miss a visit to the town of Hluboká nad Vltavou and, above all, the chateau which was built in the style of Windsor Neo-Gothic. The chateau, its gardens and the adjacent English park were a favourite excursion resort of Emperor Charles IV during his stays in České Budějovice.

Chateau Hluboká

Přemysl Otakar II had the original castle built in the 13th century. Over the centuries, however, it was rebuilt several times. It obtained its current shape as late as in the middle of the 19th century. You can take three different sightseeing tours of the Chateau of Hluboká nad Vltavou. Its exteriors and interiors form a unique example of Windsor Neo-Gothic which was first introduced in Bohemia by Princess Eleonora. You will find more information on Chateau Hluboká at  www.zamek-hluboka.cz.
