Hluboka nad Vltavou (German: Frauenberg) is a town in the South Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic, near Ceske Budejovice. This town was a favourite of Charles IV, who often visited when residing in Ceske Budejovice. It is best known for its famous Windsor style chateau. The original royal castle of Premysl Otakar II from the second half of the thirteenth century was rebuilt at the end of the sixteenth century by the Lords of Hradec. It received its present appearance under Count Jan Adam of Schwarzenberg. According to the English Windsor example, architects F. Beer and F. Deworetzky built a Romantic Neo-Gothic chateau, surrounded by a 1.9 square kilometres (0.73 sq mi) English park here in the years 1841 to 1871. In 1940, the castle was seized from the last owner, Adolph Schwarzenberg by the Gestapo and confiscated by the government of Czechoslovakia after the end of WWII. The castle is opened to public. There is a winter garden and riding-hall where the Southern Bohemian gallery exhibitions have been housed since 1956.
The castle has been used in a scene of Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson's Shanghai Knights. The city also hosts the renowned Townshend International School which, within a little more than 10 years, brought together in this village students from many diverse corners of the earth.
