Cesky Krumlov is a town in the South Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic located in a horseshoe bend of the Vltava river.
Construction of the castle began in the early 13th century. Over the years it was passed between the powerful Rosenberg, Eggenberg, and Schwarzenberg families, before its final transfer to the Czechoslovak State in 1950.
The historic center of the town was inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 1992.
