Tired of boring trips at Lake Lipno without unique memories?

You know the drill: you visit dozens of attractions, spend hundreds on plastic souvenirs… and after returning home, you find that all your photos look exactly like the photos of thousands of other tourists. Isn’t it time to finally change something?

Just a 30-minute drive from our apartments, a time capsule awaits you, transporting you back more than 100 years. Museum Photo Studio Seidel in Český Krumlov is not just another boring exhibition. It is a living portal to an era of elegance, style, and master photography.

Why enjoy this period trip?

1. Become the star of your own historical movie – Put on authentic costumes from 1910, sit in front of the original Art Nouveau background, and take home a photograph that even your ancestors would envy!
2. Experience what others don’t get to know – Step into the original studio where generations of Šumava families, prominent personalities, and ordinary people have been photographed since 1905.
3. Get a souvenir that won’t fade – No plastic magnets or cheap glasses. You will take home a framed professional photograph that will decorate your home for decades.

What exactly awaits you?

You will step into a perfectly preserved world of old photography. You will put on an elegant dress or a formal suit of that time. You will sit exactly where your ancestors sat 100 years ago. Then the shutter of a professional camera clicks and… you have immortality in your hands. Every detail is authentic – from composition and lighting to the processing itself. The result is not a cheap photograph, but a work of art worthy of a frame in your living room.

What you definitely shouldn’t forget to bring

• Gentlemen, bring your own dress shoes and dark trousers. Ladies, a simple hairstyle will make it easier to put on the period hats.
• Don’t forget to book your appointment in advance, especially if you want a photo shoot for a larger group.
• Allow enough time. This isn’t a quick “selfie” stop, but an experience that deserves at least an hour of your time.

📍 Where to return after photography with kids?

After a day full of experiences in the studio, a place where the whole family can relax is ideal. Our family accommodation at Lake Lipno is an ideal base – you will find a large fenced garden, children’s playground, saltwater pool, and a quiet background for parents. And when you want to head out? Lake Lipno has a lot to offer outside the area: we recommend trips, cycle paths, beaches for swimming, or perhaps visiting monuments.

And in the evening back to us, to the garden, where the children continue their adventure and you open something cold.

Book your stay in time while there is still plenty to choose from.
We look forward to seeing you!
