About this audio guide
This guide to Hotel Růže in Český Krumlov opens in 1887, when a colonel marches his troops into town expecting the quarters the council promised him. It then turns to the long Horní Street front, with its sgraffito patterns and painted saints, and to the Jesuit college built here in the 1580s for William of Rosenberg. Best heard standing across the street from the façade.
