Zámecká Zahrada

Introduction

The Český Krumlov Castle Garden is an elegant, refined Baroque garden set high above the castle, adding a tranquil, graceful touch of nature and horticulture to this fairytale town — a pleasant place to stroll after touring the castle. Built in the 17th and 18th centuries as the pleasure garden of the castle's noble owners, it follows a classic Baroque and Rococo layout: symmetrical geometric flowerbeds, neatly clipped hedges, straight tree-lined paths, and sculptures, fountains and flowers in between, all expressing the elegance and order of classical garden art. The garden's centerpiece is a magnificent Baroque cascade fountain (Cascade Fountain) adorned with vivid mythological sculptures, with water tumbling down in lively splendor; there is also a uniquely designed revolving open-air theatre (whose auditorium rotates with the play — a precious historic theatre facility), plus elegant pavilions, broad lawns and open views. Strolling the garden, visitors can wander among the formal flowerbeds and hedges, admire the splendid Baroque fountain and sculptures, relax in the open, tranquil grounds, and from the garden's height overlook the old town of Český Krumlov and the surrounding countryside. A leisurely walk through this elegant, tranquil Castle Garden is a delightful, relaxed interlude in the fairytale town (the garden is usually open only in the warm season).
