Rožmberk Castle
Hrad Rožmberk
A Gothic castle on a cliff above the upper Vltava, the birthplace of the Rosenberg family, with a legendary White Lady and a quiet village by the river.
Rožmberk Castle was first built in the 13th century and was the ancestral seat of the Rosenberg family, who later ruled Český Krumlov. Inside you'll find the Knights' Hall and a collection of weapons and paintings assembled by Count Buquoy. The tower known as Jakubka overlooks the river valley. Guided tours cost about 150–200 CZK, and the castle is closed in winter. The village below is a popular starting point for Vltava river rafting. It is about 25 km from Český Krumlov and can be reached by car or train.
Opening hours
Approx. April–October 9:00–17:00 (closed Mondays)
