Jindřichův Hradec

Jindřichův Hradec Essentials

Jindřichův Hradec features one of the Czech Republic's largest castle complexes, showcasing a blend of Gothic and Renaissance architecture. The historic center is defined by the 14th-century Church of the Assumption, which sits directly on the 15th meridian east. Visitors can explore the 20-meter tall Baroque Holy Trinity Column on the main square or visit the Museum of Photography housed in a former Jesuit college. The town also serves as the hub for a historic narrow-gauge railway system, offering steam engine trips through the South Bohemian countryside.
