What you'll see
Five courtyards climbing along a rocky ridge above the river, a round tower painted in pastel colours with a lookout gallery over the red roofs, and rooms of the noble families who ruled the region, with bears kept in the old moat below.
A brief history
After Prague Castle it's the largest castle complex in Czechia; the Rožmberk and later the Schwarzenberg families held it for centuries, and the town around it is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
