History
You will meet history everywhere. The beginning of the city dates back to the second half of the 12th century. The town flourished most during the reign of Vilém and Petr Vok's (last Rožmberk brothers) in the 16th and early 17th centuries. Other important owners then became the Swarzenbergs, who administered it until the end of World War I. During the 19th century, the first peat spa was established in Třeboň and spas developed.
Historical monuments
The largest historical monument in Třeboň is its Renaissance chateau, which is one of the largest chateau complexes in the Czech Republic. Here you can choose from several sightseeing routes, including a visit to the nearby Schwarzenberg Tomb in an English park not far from the Svět pond. The city center is dominated by Masaryk Square with the old town hall, arcades and the Marian column with a fountain. If you want to see Třeboň from a height, climb the tower of the old town hall. Another historic building is the local Bohemia regent brewery, founded in 1379.
