Hupoka Castle (Hluboka Hrad) is located in Hupoka Town, eight kilometers north of the town of CB, built in the 13th century, an ancient castle, formerly belonging to the private territory of the Bohemian king. By the 16th century, the German noble family of the Schwassenbergs had taken over the castle and built, renovated and decorated it with great financial resources for several hundred years. So, at first the castle was Gothic, and later it was converted into Renaissance, Baroque and neoclassical styles. In the 19th century, the hostess returned from England and again modeled the Windsor Castle in England (Windsor Castle) to be converted into a new Gothic building. The white castle, far from the city, also became a unique geographical symbol in the Czech hinterland.
Tickets are not expensive. It doesn't look high, but it's very tired to climb the stairs. Along the narrow stairs, it feels like a medieval period, climbing all the way to the top floor, overlooking the entire city. The scenery is quite good and worth it.
Located on the mountainside next to Hluboka on the Voltava River (Hluboka Nad Vltavou), it is about 9 kilometers away from CB. It takes about half an hour to take a bus from the CB bus terminal. There is also a large park next to the castle, where you can take a walk.
Very good family castle, you have to make an appointment in advance to visit, otherwise you will not be able to enter in the peak season, because the number of receptions is limited every time, and you can't walk around. There are tour guides to introduce one room and one room. You can't repeat it until you come out.
