One of the most sought-after castles in our country, the Hluboká castle, stands on the northern edge of the Budejovice pond basin, on a steep promontory above the Vltava river.

The current appearance of the castle grounds, including the park and the surrounding landscape, was inspired by the travels of Prince Jan Adolf II. Schwarzenberg to Great Britain, who, as a representative of an important and wealthy family, took part in the coronation of the British Queen Victoria in 1838. The castle itself was rebuilt in the Baroque style in the first third of the 18th century and kept this form until the romantic reconstruction around the middle of the 19th century.

The walls and ceilings of the interiors are richly decorated with wood carvings and noble wood. Some rooms are decorated with paintings by European masters from the 16th to 18th centuries, chandeliers, stained glass and Delft ceramics. The portraits on the walls depict the most important members of the Schwarzenberg family. The private rooms of the last owners of Hluboká, Prince Adolf and his wife Hilda, are also accessible. In the basement of the castle, you can access the castle kitchen with the castle pastry shop and a personal and dining elevator from the beginning of the 20th century.
