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 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.
