Description:
The castle of Nizhny Rzhimov was built as a family estate at the turn of the XIII and XIV centuries. The castle is located in the village of Rzhimov, near the town of Ceske Budejovice. This ancient fortress is a two-storey building with a wing and adjacent utility rooms. The main building is equipped with a tower, which is decorated with clocks and pilasters, inside it is a bell tower.
In the XVII-XVIII centuries, the fortress was given to the Jesuit order, who were engaged in religious and educational activities in the village. In the former refectory hall, frescoes of two main Jesuit saints – St. Ingation and St. Francis Xavier – were preserved in damaged form. The castle is now used as a hotel.
