Jindřichův Hradec is a town in the Czech Republic. It has approximately 22,700 inhabitants.
The first written mention of the town is in 1220. Before that, it was probably a Slavic settlement. At the end of the 12th century more people arrived. At the beginning of the 13th century a Gothic castle was built. Then in the 16th century, it was gradually rebuilt into a Renaissance chateau. (That is the building you see in most of the pictures on this postcard)
