The town is situated at the confluence of the Lužnice River and the stream Černovický potok. There are several fishponds in the territory of Soběslav. The pond Nový rybník with its surroundings is protected as the Nový rybník u Soběslavi Nature Monument.[2]

History

Soběslav Castle and Hláska Tower

The first written mention of Soběslav is from 1293, when the castle and surrounding areas belonged to the Rosenberg family. In obtained town rights in 1390. Four years later was the King Wenceslaus IV imprisoned in a local castle.[3]

In the 16th century, Soběslav was the seat of Peter Vok of Rosenberg and one of the most important towns of the Rosenbergs' estate. It represented the economic centre of southern Bohemia with ties to Bavaria and Austria.[3] This most important stage in the history of the town is evident in numerous historic buildings in the town to this day.

The town was burned twice during the Hussite Wars. At the end of 19th century, the town was connected by a railway with Prague and České Budějovice.

The historical part of the town is protected as an urban monument zone. The Church of Saint Vitus is a Gothic building from 1375, founded by Oldřich I of Rosenberg. In the 15th–18th centuries it was modified, but retained its Gothic character.[7]

The Soběslav Castle is known for its well-preserved cylindrical tower Hláska, which is a landmark of the town. The castle fell into disrepair in the 1980s. Its northern wing was reconstructed in 2010 and today it houses the town library.[8]

The parish Church of Saints Peter and Paul is a landmark of the town square. An old church was completely rebuilt in the late Gothic style in 1493–1517. It has a 68-metre (223 ft) high tower, open to the public as a lookout tower.[9]
