INTRODUCTION TO TREBON


It lies in the basin of the Lužnice River. Thanks to its vast wealth of water sources it has earned the appellations ‘a town of lakes’ for Třeboň and ‘a landscape of mirrors’ for the Třeboň basin. The area has many artificial lakes, and, since the Middle Ages, a freshwater fishing economy has been developed, chiefly with carp. The largest fishpond was named after the Rožmberk family, who founded Třeboň’s Augustinian monastery and promoted fish breeding. The town and its environs passed to the Schwarzenbergs, a powerful Austrian noble family, in 1660.

The spa, the renaissance chateau, the adjacent parks and the large expanse of Lake Svět form a unique entity with a special local colour. Třeboň is famous for its traditional fish-breeding, for the excellent Regent beer. The local restaurant serves fish delicacies made from excellent ‘Třeboň carp’. The great variety of culinary events and the rich cultural programme are very popular with tourists as well as Czech sportsmen, frequent guests of the spa.

The town fortifications, preserved together with five gates and a few bastions, were protected by so-called Golden Canal and the lake Svět in the south. The Renaissance chateau, connected by a long corridor with the Rosenberg library and the complex of the Augustinian Monastery, is a significant architectural sight. The monastery complex includes a unique two-nave Church of St. Giles. The tower of the Early Baroque Town Hall is another dominant of the town.

The town centre features a large complex of burghers´ houses of various architectural styles. Třeboň and its environs, a biospherep reserve, has been included in the UNESCO list.

WHAT TO SEE


TREBON CHATEAU

The Třeboň Chateau is one of the largest chateau complexes to be found in the Czech Republic. Its current appearance is the work of Renaissance builders who built a grand residence for one of the leading czech noble families, the Rožmberks, on the site of a gothic castle. Another owner, the powerful Schwarzenberg aristocratic family, contributed the baroque additions in the outer courtyard of the chateau. Three sightseeing routes - The Rožmberk Renaissance Interiors, The Private Schwarzenberg Apartment dating from the late 19th Century and The Chateau Stable, the Dog Kitchen and the Casemates documents the lifestyles at the chateau in the past. The complex is surrounded by a magnificent park with fortification walls.
