This, probably the most famous Czech chateau of Hluboká nad Vltavou, was founded in the 13th century by the Czech King Vaclav I. Its present fabulous look is, however, the result of a romanticized reconstruction from the 19th century in the style of English Tudor Gothic. You can choose from several castle tours, with a visit to the local castle kitchen especially worthwhile. The whole family will enjoy a visit to the Ohrada Zoo, situated next to the hunting castle. It is possible to walk comfortably along the banks of the pond from the Hluboká castle to the Zoo in a few minutes. The castle is open daily.
