Český Krumlov

Also known as Krumau

Český Krumlov, in German Krumau, is a town in South Bohemia, Czech Republic, set in tight bends of the Vltava. Its castle, one of the largest in the country, was the seat of the Rosenberg family, then of the Eggenbergs, and from 1719 of the princes of Schwarzenberg, who kept it until 1947. Its well-preserved old town is a World Heritage site.
