The original Cesky Krumlov castle was founded by the lords of Krumlov in the first half of the 13th century. The preset chateau complex is one of the largest in Central Europe. Chateau complex was recorded in the UNESCO List of World Cultural and Natural Heritage in 1992.

Construction of the town and castle began in the late 13th century at a ford in the Vltava river which was important in trade routes. Most of the architecture of the old town and castle region dates from the 14th century through 17th century, structures are in Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque styles. The core of the old town is within a horseshoe bend of the river, with the old Latran neighborhood and castle on the other side of the Vltava.
