South Bohemia hides plenty of gorgeous spots, and I’d argue that \u010cerven\u00e1 Lhota Castle<\/strong> is one of the most photogenic of them all. You may well recognise it from the legendary Czech fairytale “Goldilocks” (Zlatovl\u00e1ska), and in real life it looks even more magical. This vivid red building perched on a small rocky outcrop is usually mirrored on the calm surface of a pond, creating scenery that looks straight out of a romantic film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I have to flag one hugely important thing right at the start. Since 2022 the castle pond has been drained because of a seriously damaged dam, and in the 2026 season it will most likely still be without water<\/strong>. The repair is complicated, so the little boats are currently out of service too. Exactly when the water will return is still uncertain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might be thinking there’s no point without the water, but trust me, this deep red Renaissance building has enormous charm even so. Luk\u00e1\u0161 and I visited before the pond was drained, so you’ll see the water on our photos in this article<\/strong>, but even if you arrive to find a dry riverbed, the walk around the castle will definitely win you over. Let’s take a look at everything you should know before you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
