The Castle Garden

5.1
4.5/5
86 reviews
The Castle Gardenis located on the hillside southwest of the Český Krumlov Castle and is a sizable Baroque garden within this castle complex. The garden was first built in the 17th century during the Eggenberg family era and was renovated in the second half of the 20th century according to the original 18th-century plans. It covers an area of approx. 11 hectares and is generally accessed via the double-arched bridge connecting the castle and the garden. The garden is roughly divided into two parts from bottom to top: the Lower Garden features neatly trimmed Rococo flowerbeds, with various flowers arranged in intricate patterns; the Cascade Fountain at the junction of the upper and lower gardens is the highlight of the entire garden. Built in the mid-18th century, it features a four-tiered cascade adorned with statues of Neptune, allegories of the four seasons, and aquatic animals, and is considered a treasure among similar fountains in the Czech Republic. The Upper Garden is more akin to a natural landscape garden, with the Rococo Bellarie Summer Palace, a music pavilion, and a castle pond scattered among tree-lined paths and lawns; the revolving auditorium open-air theater in front of the summer palace has been a venue for summer performances for decades, where operas, ballets, and plays are frequently performed, and many people also enjoy having a picnic or relaxing on the lawn.Cesky Krumlov · 788m from downtown

Český Krumlov Castle sits atop the town, accessible by a covered bridge overlooking the Vltava River's bend. The castle museum displays some antique furniture and weapons, but the most worthwhile attraction is the tower, from which one can climb and see a cluster of red rooftops. The rear garden is meticulously manicured, with a pond reflecting the trees. The castle theater is usually closed, only accessible from the outside. A complete tour of the castle and town takes about half a day. Walking back to the old town across the bridge, you'll pass many shops selling amber and puppets.

The Cathedral of St. Vitus in the Czech Republic is an important late Gothic building and a Czech National Cultural Monument. The current construction dates from 1407 to 1438, with the last major phase being the neo-Gothic reconstruction in the 19th century, when the original Baroque onion-domed tower was demolished and replaced with the current neo-Gothic tower.

Walk through the semicircular battlement gallery and come to the viewing platform of the castle garden, where you can overlook the entire town. The Vltava River flows through the center of the town in an S shape. The orange-red roofs that fill the picture, the painted towers and churches in the distance are like a colorful oil painting full of three-dimensional sense.

The original 14th-century Gothic structure of the town hall was later expanded by the addition of an adjoining structure in 1597. In the past, wealthy families lived here, but now it is home to the municipal administration, the municipal police station, and a newsagent's office.

I realized that I didn't take a photo of this attraction. It's right in the center of the square, so it's also the gathering place for tour groups. There's a cinnamon roll place next to it that tastes really good.

This square is the liveliest and most festive place in the whole town. It is naturally much smaller than squares in big cities, but it has a wide variety of street art performances and many shops.
