The Castle Riding Hall is a Baroque building from 1744-1746 in the grounds of Český Krumlov Castle, built in the Viennese Rococo style at the behest of Prince Josef Adam of Schwarzenberg. It was designed by Viennese architect Andreas Altomonte, with stucco decoration by sculptor Jan Antonín Zinner. After World War II the hall served as a gymnasium and scenery store; it was converted for cultural use in the 1970s. Today it hosts concerts of the International Music Festival Český Krumlov, balls, conferences and wedding receptions, with a capacity of up to 700 seats.
