The museum and tower with a viewing gallery are located in the grounds of Český Krumlov Château, and can be accessed with a CK Card. Inside the museum, you will find a number of rare exhibits from the château depositories, while a museum cinematograph shows films from the early 20th century.

Set out on a journey through time! The Castle Museum takes you back to the era of the Lords of Krumlov, the Rosenbergs, and other prominent noble families who lived in Český Krumlov over the centuries and shaped its appearance. A number of valuable exhibits from the castle depositories are on display.

In addition to the Castle Museum exhibition, you can also visit the Castle Tower, a symbol of Český Krumlov since time immemorial, which the writer Karel Čapek once called “the most tower-like of all towers.” Climbing 162 steps up to the viewing gallery of the tower rewards visitors with a panoramic view of the entire town and the adjacent castle moat, which has been home to Krumlov’s bears for centuries.
