Built around a medieval castle on the Nežárka River, Jindřichův Hradec grew into a historic South Bohemian town. Its castle-and-château complex occupies the narrow ground between the river and Vajgar Pond, a large fishpond that has long shaped the town’s waterside setting. Arcaded courtyards and Renaissance interiors record the transformation of the original fortress under the Lords of Hradec. The Museum of Jindřichův Hradec holds Krýza’s crèche, recognised as the world’s largest mechanical nativity scene.
