Tips

Andrea und Huskys 🐺

The Budějovická Gate (Budějovická brána) was built between 1598 and 1602 on a rocky outcrop above the Polečnicí River. It is the youngest and only surviving gate of the original medieval town fortifications. Together with the neighbouring buildings of the former St. Elisabeth Hospital, it forms a clear visual landmark when entering the town from the north side over the stone four-arch bridge. The gate was built by Petr Vok of Rosenberg, who donated it to the town in return for a promise to maintain it permanently. The architect was probably Dominico Benedetto Cometta of Eckthurn.

The Budweis Gate is a two-storey, four-sided tower, which has the character of a fortress on the outer north side and whose square facade with a pointed tower edge is covered by a protective wall with a battlement. On the side of the gate facing the city, however, there is a red-coloured facade and fresco decoration with various painted Renaissance ornaments. In 1934, when the bridge was extended, a pedestrian passage was built on the east side, and in the 1960s on the west side as well. In 1996, the eastern passage in the gate was covered again when the bridge was repaired.

The town of Český Krumlov originally had nine main gates, of which the youngest, Budějovická brána, is the only one that has survived. In the first half of the 19th century, all other town gates were demolished because their arched passages hindered the flow of traffic. However, the Budweis Gate met the traffic requirements and was able to remain standing.
