Hluboká nad Vltavou is a monumental Romantic chateau; originally a Gothic castle, it was remodeled in the Baroque style during the first half of the 18th century. It underwent a significant transformation in the 19th century, when it was remodeled in the English Windsor-style Gothic and became the official seat of the Schwarzenberg dynasty. The complex includes a glassed-in winter garden, a riding hall, an English-style park (190 hectares) and a chapel. Sumptuously furnished period interiors feature unique woodcarvings and valuable collections. Tip: Hluboka Castle Excursion

I've been to Karlstejn, Orlik, and Prague castle, and this castle is great, definately worth the visit! It's nothing like Versailles or any other froo-froo castle, they have a lot of midevil decor and it's very authentic. There's a steep little hike up so if you have a problem walking up hills this isn't the castle for you. There are lots of little cafes and shops on the way up for souvenirs.
