Most of the visitors to Jindrichuv Hradec come to admire its superb castle, formerly the abode of the lords of Hradec. A circular tower, huge hall and a chapel bear witness to its medieval origins, but alterations carried out in the 16C have left their mark on the building. The main courtyard is enclosed by a handsome three-storey arcade. Paintings by Brandl, Skréta and Salvator Rosa are on display inside. The airy Rondel pavilion, in the midst of the French-style garden, completes this admirable picture.
