Jindřichův Hradec, Medieval castle town in South Bohemia, Czech Republic
Jindřichův Hradec sits along the Nežárka River near Vajgar pond, featuring a large castle complex and protected historical buildings across its urban center.
The settlement emerged around 1220 when Jindřich I Vítkovec constructed a Gothic castle, later becoming the second largest town in the Kingdom of Bohemia.
The castle's Knight Hall contains murals from 1338 depicting The Legend of Saint George, while the Green Chambers showcase detailed wall paintings from 1580.
The regional museum, located in a former Jesuit seminary building, displays exhibits including a mechanical nativity scene recognized by the Guinness Book of Records.
The castle features a preserved black kitchen from the late 15th century and a manneristic music pavilion called Rondell within its extensive grounds.
