Hluboká Castle is a breathtaking neo-Gothic château located just a few kilometers from České Budějovice, consistently ranking among the most popular castles in the country. Originally a 13th-century fortress, it was rebuilt in the 19th century in a romantic style inspired by England's Windsor Castle. Visitors can tour lavishly furnished rooms, stroll through manicured gardens, and enjoy views over the Vltava River valley. The castle's white walls, turrets, and ornate interiors make it feel like a storybook setting, attracting tourists and film crews alike.
