What to expect
Český Krumlov Castle is a castle located in the city on the top of the hill.It contains five castle courtyards.It dates back to 1240 when the first castle was built by the Witigonen family, the main branch of the powerful Rosenberg family. Currently the castle is listed as a national heritage site and thus serves as a major tourist attraction. Entrace fee is 320 CZK per person, seniors over 65 years & children 220 CZK. It is open from 2nd of April till 31st of October. Except Monday,when it is closed.
Historic Center of Cesky Krumlov
Surrounded by the Vltava river, the compact center of the town is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The town is home to period houses, churches, museums, hotels, restaurants and cafes connected by narrow cobbled streets.Highlights of the town include the Castle and Svornosti square (town square) and the beautiful Castle promenade bridge build on top of a Roman aqueduct. Of course, there are the usual souvenir and gift shops catering to tourists.
The renovated Minorite Monastery is well worth a visit. The ticket has two parts.the monastery itself (and church) and an adjacent location with items from the collection and about the renovations. Paintings and statuary and frescoes are gorgeous, and nicely restored. Be aware of strict no photography policy in most of the facility. Gardens are pleasant, too, and free to enter.
St. Jodock’s Church with hospital was founded around 1330 by the Krumlov ruler Peter I of Rosenberg. The hospital provided basic medical care to the ill and poor inhabitants of the town. In the years 1594 - 1599, the original church was rebuilt by the architect Dominic Cometta, and, at the same time, a tower was erected next to it. The new church was consecrated to the Holy Trinity, and the Krumlov ruler Peter Vok of Rosenberg gave it to the Protestants living in Český Krumlov. The intention was finally abandoned and Peter Vok was buried in the family tomb in the monastery of Vyšší Brod. After his death the church was returned to the Catholics and re-consecrated to St. Jodock. In 1765 the church tower underwent a Baroque remodelling, yet as early as 1788, as part of reforms introduced by the Emperor and Bohemian King Joseph II, it was abolished and gradually rebuilt into a residential house. The hospital kept its function until 1922.
The narrow cobbled street is part of the old town and is lined with medieval houses. Nothing has changed here over time and a walk along the street is a great way to travel back in time to the medieval ages. It is a great way to relax and unwind.
Entrance is free and it is was very silent and serene during our visit. The inside is fairly dark, but it creates authentic atmosphere on how it must have felt when it was build. You can take great pictures from the back of the church.
The building now houses the regional museum, which displays a very interesting mix of clothes, artifacts, and information on the surrounding area, spanning early, prehistoric periods through to the current, post-Communist era. The visit takes less than an hour, with the highlight being a wooden model of the old city in the 18th Century. This alone is worth the price of admission! The more modern history is less visually interesting, but tells a fascinating (to a history geek) tale of what went on in The region from the First World War through to present day. Well worth a visit.
Svornosti Square
The small medieval square is surrounded by period buildings. The square is home to a simple Plague column, a fountain and the Town hall. The square surrounded by cafes and restaurants making it a great place to relax and unwind in a medieval setting.
