Trebon Chateau (western side) - Trebon, Czech Republic - Picture Perfect Postcards on Waymarking.com

The spa town Trebon is an important tourist, recreational, cultural and administrative centre in South Bohemia. The centre of the town is protected for its historical value.

The impressive Renaissance chateau is situated near the south-western side of the historical centre of the town Trebon.

It was originally the courtyard of feudal lords, then a fortress, and later, in the second half of the 14th century, a small stone castle. Through time it was enlarged into a big castle, but it burnt down in the 16th century. The Rožmberks, proprietors of the town and castle, started the reconstruction of the castle into a Renaissance chateau. They didn't complete it, but the Schwarzenbergs, the new owners, finished it later.

The chateau comprises the four-winged two-storeyed building with three-storeyed tower. The entrance to the precinct is through the northern central gate from the town square to the courtyard. The fountain from 1722 is in the middle of this courtyard with arcades.
The large Renaissance park was founded behind the chateau at the beginning of the 17th century by Petr Vok of Rožmberk. It was altered into an orchard after the Thirty Years' War and later, in 1804, into the English park.
