The lifestyle of the foremost Czech lord as well as the highest-ranking official required, apart from other things, an imposing seat. Wilhelm von Rosenberg (1535-1592) took over in 1551 the medieval Ceský Krumlov Castle and over the years of 1560-90 turned the castle into a Renaissance residence. Reconstruction of the courtyard of the Upper Castle was carried out in the 1780s by Baldassare Maggi.
In the aerial view of the Upper Castle the 1st and 2nd courtyards can be seen.
