Zamek Cervena Lhota
  
  Zamek Cervena Lhota (Cervena Lhota Chateau) is situated about 20 km north-west of Jindrichuv Hradec in south Bohemia, Czech Republic.  The castle stands at the middle of a lake on a rocky island and it is one of the most romantic historical monuments in South Bohemia.  Its picturesque Renaissance building is a destination of thousands of tourists every year.  Its name Cervena Lhota meaning "red village" can be explained by the colour of castle's walls or roof.  There is also a castle park, where the Chapel of Holly Trinity is located.
  The existence of an original fortress on the site of today's castle is assumed from sometime around the middle of the fourteenth century.  The first written source is an entry into the land records from 1465, mentioning the division of the property of deceased Ctibor of Zasmuk between his two sons Petr and Vaclav.  The fortress then might have been sold into the ownership of Divis Boubinsky of Ujezd, who sold it to the knightly family of Kab of Rybnan sometime around 1530. In 1597, the castle was sold to Vilem Rut of Dirna.  The last of the Ruts, Bohuslav, had to leave the Bohemian lands as an Ultraquist after the Battle of White Mountain.  In 1621, Cervena Lhota was inhabited by Antonio Bruccio, who died in 1639 without an heir.  With his death, Lhota lost its function as a residence and it was used by his successors as occasional cottage.
  In 1641, Cervena Lhota was bought by aristocrat Vilem Slavat of Chlum and Kosumberk (Vilem Slavata of Chlum) and passed into the hands of Windischgratz family.  Bedrich Arnost Windischgratz and his son Leopold dragged the dominion into great debts due to their out-dated style of economics, so the custodian of his under-aged successor Josef recommended the sale of the dominion.  In 1755 the castle then was obtained by the free lords of Gudenus.  Franz de Paul, free lord of Gudenus, shortly afterwards initiated several constructions, which were brought to an abrupt halt in 1774 by a great fire, which destroyed essentially all agricultural buildings.
  In 1776, Cervena Lhota welcomed a new owner, Baron Ignac Stillfried, a progressive aristocrat of Prussian Silesia whose son sold the dominion to Jakub Veith in 1820.  His daughter Terezie sold the castle again in 1835, this time into the princely hands of Heinrich Eduard Schonburg-Hartenstein who gave the chateau to his son Josef Alexandr Schonburg-Hartenstein.  He died in 1937 and was buried into the newly-built tomb, and thus spared the destructive events of the new war, which drew the curtains closed for the entire aristocratic history of Cervena Lhota chateau.  After the confiscation of the castle by the Czechoslovakian state in 1946 a children's clinic was established here.  However, a year later, Cervena Lhota chateau was granted to a National Culture Commission, and in 1949 it was opened to the public.  This chateau is a popular TV drama/film setting in Czech.  (Referred to the site of "Wikipedia")
