Rožmberk Castle, Gothic castle in Rožmberk nad Vltavou, Czech Republic

The castle stands on a rocky promontory above the Vltava River, with both Upper and Lower sections featuring defensive walls and a deep moat.

Founded in 1250 by Vok of Rožmberk, the castle served as the primary residence for the House of Rožmberk until their move to Český Krumlov in 1302.

The castle museum displays a collection of Renaissance furniture, Baroque paintings, and historical weapons within its preserved Gothic and Renaissance chambers.

The castle opens from January through November, offering guided tours through representative rooms, private chambers, and the English Tower viewing point.

The castle houses a Museum of Capital Justice System in its cellar, featuring an original dungeon and exhibits about medieval legal practices.
