Český Rudolec, Gothic Revival château in Jindřichův Hradec District, Czech Republic.

Český Rudolec is a Gothic Revival château located in the Jindřichův Hradec District of South Bohemia. The building features decorative stone carvings, pointed arch windows, and multiple towers that define its exterior form.

The first direct record of the fortress dates from 1353, when it belonged to the lords of Rudolec and stood on the Prague–Vienna trade route. In 1406 Margrave Jošt granted it to Vilém of Miličín and freed the estate from feudal obligation. After a fire in 1860, Knight Michael Angelo von Picchioni, who drew the plans himself, rebuilt it in 1860–1861 in romantic Tudor Gothic style.

The château is also called Malá Hluboká or Moravská Hluboká. In the orangery of its park, the first pineapple on the European continent was reportedly grown. Jan Hodický of Hodice built a tomb in the local church and is buried there with his family.

The château opened to the public in 2011, and the tower repair begun in 2014 was finished in 2016. It stands by road II/409 in the south-eastern part of Český Rudolec, near Dačice, in the Česká Kanada area. The château park is registered as a significant landscape element.

The château is also called Malá Hluboká or Moravská Hluboká, after Hluboká Castle, which it resembles in its Gothic Revival form. The nickname predates the 1860–1861 rebuilding by Michael Angelo von Picchioni, who drew the plans himself.
