Dominating the old town after which it's named, Cesky Krumlov Castle is a huge castle dating from the early 13th century that is remarkably well preserved given its age. Also worth seeing is the castle's old Baroque theater, built in 1682 and with much of the equipment added later in the 18th century still used for special performances. Other highlights include historic collections of paintings and tapestries, along with fine decor and period furniture. The Cesky Krumlov Castle complex comprises 40 buildings, including fine old palaces, castle courts, and gardens, and can easily take the best part of a day to explore.
