Jindrichuv Hradec Attractions
The town of Jindrichuv Hradec, east of Ceske Budejovice was established in the first part of the 13th Century by the wealthy Rozmberk family. Located on a major trading route the town grew over the years and was once an important settlement in this area. The castle, for which the town is named, is unique for its variety of architectural styles. Between the 13th Century and the early part of the 17th Century the Jindrichuv Hradec Castle saw numerous additions resulting in baroque, medieval, and Renaissance sections. Of particular note are the Gothic chapel and ceremonial hall with 14th Century paintings depicting the life of St George.
