Title

Name in English

The ruins of a medieval stronghold called Starý Zámek are situated northwest of Tábor in the direction of Sedlec. Its history reaches back to the 14th century.
In 1434 the castle was unsuccessfully besieged by Prokop Holý´s troops; in the early 17th century the castle was plundered by the imperial army and never repaired afterwards. In the early 19th century stone from the ruins was used for construction in the nearby village. Parts of towers have remained from the castle and some walls of the new palace and the gate. Due to its favourable location in forested countryside above two ponds this is a widely sought after location.

Borotín Castle

Měšice Castle is situated in Tábor, Southern Bohemia, Czech Republic, about 2 km from the "Tábor Infocenter" along the Chýnov - Pelhřimov road.
Over its 450-year history, the design of the castle has changed and evolved according to the times, tastes, requirements and finances of successive aristocrats. The immediate environs of the castle is known as the Castle Park.
In 1545, the knight Prokop of Hejlovec built a Renaissance style manor house in the village of Měšice (today, this area is an outlying district of Tábor). During this time, the villages of Měšice, Čekanice and Stoklasná Lhota all belonged to the Prokop family of Hejlovec.
John Joseph Caretto, the Count of Mellisimo, rebuilt the manor house in 1699 as a Baroque Castle. In 1792, John Hannygar of Eberg built special water toilets in the Baroque Castle. These water toilets, still work today. In 1817, John Schmidgräber of Lusteneg enlarged the building and, in the Empire style, installed an ostentatious staircase and recreated the facade of the castle.
After 1877, the castle belonged to the Nádherný family (barons) of Borutín. Since 1997, the castle has been the property of Jan Berwid-Buquoy.

Radenín Chateau

About 6 kilometres north-east of Bechyně, on a hilly rock above the river Lužnice, there is a Gothic castle originating from the early 14th century.

The most significant owners of the castle were the Rožmberks who had it expanded at the beginning of the 16th century. Later on the castle was used as a summer residence for the Jesuit College of St. Kliment from the Old Town of Prague, but after the Jesuits left the castle in 1727, it fell into disrepair. Nowadays you find romantic ruins of walls and a dominant round tower on the site. The tower is visible from far away and in its shadow there is a camping site where canoeists floating down the Lužnice River or hikers tramping through the region can stay overnight.

Dobronice u Bechyně Castle

This mighty castle was founded in the mid-13th century and only ruins of walls and two towers have remained of it. The ruins boast an unusual layout (it is a rare example of a double castle). The castle was owned by the Rožmberks from 1355 till 1597 when Petr Vok sold it; in 1614 the castle was abandoned. The core of the castle is situated on a steep rock; visitors who climb up the stairs in one of the towers are rewarded with a beautiful view from a height of 18 metres; weather permitting one can see as far as the Šumava Mountains or the Brdy Hills.

Tučapy (Brandlín Chateau)

The first written reference to the site dates back to 1149 and mentions a convent of the Premonstratensians, founded in the so-called Moon Valley. The Lounovice convent was ruined in 1420 by the Tabor forces that then dominated the whole region. The museum displays findings of the archaeological research of the convent, installed in the château by the National Museum in 1981. During a reconstruction in 1982, a band of sgraffito was uncovered, depicting an interesting view of the biblical theme of The Flood. Above the bossage of the entry portal there is the coat of arms of the archbishops as a reminder of the times when the château was in their possession. The château is also the birthplace of the music composer Jan Dismas Zelenka (1679 - 1745).
