Třeboňský zámek, Renaissance castle in Třeboň, Czech Republic.
Třeboňský zámek is a Renaissance castle in the center of Třeboň, in the Czech Republic. Below the building runs an underground network of casemates connecting different sections, including the historical stables and a room once used as a dog kitchen.
The castle was founded in 1366 by the Rosenberg family and changed hands and form over many generations. After a serious fire in 1562, Vilém of Rosenberg had the building thoroughly rebuilt in the Renaissance style.
The private rooms of the Schwarzenberg family on the first floor show how nobility lived and organized their daily life here. Nearby, an alchemist's workshop recalls the intellectual pursuits of earlier residents.
The castle sits right in the center of Třeboň and is easy to reach on foot from the main square. Guided tours run throughout the year and cover different parts of the building, from the private apartments to the underground passages.
From 1895 to 1922, the Schwarzenbergs used this place as their winter residence, and some of the rooms they occupied still contain furnishings and personal objects from that period. This makes certain parts of the building feel more like a family home than a historic monument.
