Because of its size, character, collection of preserved original furniture and a large park, the Hluboká State Chateau is one of the most beautiful, romantic castles in the Czech Republic. It offers visitors year-round operation, including a winter tour.
About the Castle: Hluboká Castle was originally founded as a guard castle in the middle of the 13th century by Czech kings and was often pledged as royal property. Several aristocratic families took turns here. Among the important ones were, the Schwarzenberg’s who bought Hluboka in 1661.
The Schwarzenbergs stayed in Hluboká until the end of 1939 when the last owner Dr Adolf emigrated overseas from the Nazis. Thanks to a very well managed property and extensive economic activities the Schwarzenberg’s twice rebuilt the chateau, first in the early 18th century in baroque style, later carried out extensive reconstruction of the chateau in the romantic style Gothic style in the years 1840 – 1871 including landscaping of the park and the surrounding landscape. It was rebuilt under the influence of the roads of the then owner, Prince John Adolf II. of Schwarzenberg and his wife Princess Eleonora, b. Princess Liechtenstein, to England. The main model of the project was the Royal Castle of Windsor.
