Protivín sits on the Blanice River in Czechia’s South Bohemian Region, where the open České Budějovice Basin is shaped by farmland, ponds and river flats. Documented from the 13th century, the town is closely associated with its brewery, founded in 1598; Platan beer still carries the Protivín name. The Renaissance-era Protivín Castle, subsequently altered in later periods, stands near the centre. The Blanice provides a natural thread through the town, while the wider South Bohemian pond country extends beyond its built-up area.
