About this stone

These beautifully landscaped Baroque gardens spanning approximately 11 hectares are part of one of Central Europe's largest castle complexes, situated within one of Europe's most enchanting medieval towns. Initially established in the 17th century, the grounds feature elegant terraces, sculpted flowerbeds, statues, and a cascading fountain that enhance their grandeur. A particularly fascinating feature is the revolving theatre within the gardens—an open-air stage with a unique rotating auditorium that allows audiences to turn and follow the action across different settings, creating an immersive theatrical experience. The gardens offer a tranquil yet vibrant cultural escape in the heart of South Bohemia, where you'll find serene corners perfect for reflection among centuries of carefully curated landscape design.
