The property is situated at the confluence of the Lužnice and Vltava rivers.
The castle was once the ancestral seat of the House of Wratislaw of Mitrowicz.

The grounds include a preserved chapel featuring original 18th-century frescoes.
Mitrowicz Castle is a Baroque manor house situated on the banks of the Lužnice River in South Bohemia. Originally a 16th-century fortress, the structure underwent significant renovations in the 18th century, resulting in its current ornate facade. The castle complex is privately owned and has undergone extensive restoration since 2008 to preserve its historic features. Visitors can tour the interior, which displays preserved period interiors and historical artifacts. The surrounding area features an English-style landscaped park suitable for walking. The site currently serves as both a cultural heritage landmark and a venue for social events, weddings, and private functions. It is managed by a dedicated group focused on maintaining the architectural integrity of the South Bohemian region.
