Třeboň Castle – a Renaissance gem in the heart of the town
On the site of the original Gothic fortress, a grand Renaissance castle was built after the fire of 1562, becoming the seat of the famous Rožmberk family. Under the guidance of builder Antonio Ericer Vlach, it took on a monumental form that still ranks among Třeboň’s most significant landmarks. Later, the castle became a favored residence of the Schwarzenberg family and continues to preserve their legacy.
