Soběslav Castle, Medieval castle in Soběslav, Czech Republic

The castle features a cylindrical tower called Hláska and stands as a prominent structure in the heart of South Bohemia at the intersection of major trade routes.

King Wenceslaus IV spent time as a prisoner within these castle walls in 1394, marking a significant moment in Czech medieval history.

The northern wing of the castle now functions as the town library, integrating historical architecture with modern educational purposes.

Visitors can explore the castle grounds throughout the year, with guided tours available during regular opening hours from Tuesday through Sunday.

The castle underwent substantial reconstruction in 2010, preserving its medieval elements while adapting spaces for contemporary community use.
