The contribution deals with both spiritually and materially rich environment of dominion of Lords of Rožmberk, the most powerful noble dynasty in Bohemia.Thanks to their contacts and position in the Czech Kingdom, South Bohemia along with its monasteries (Cistercian Monasteries in Vyšší Brod and in Zlatá Koruna, Augustinian Canonical Monastery in Třeboň and Monastery of Conventual Franciscans and Poor Clares in Český Krumlov) is associated with magnificent pieces of art that were created at that time in Bohemia and that count among the top representatives of Gothic Art in Bohemia and in Europe in general (Madonna of Český Krumlov, works of Master of Vyšší Brod, works of Master of the Třeboň Altarpiece). This contribution attempts to outline both the spiritual and cultural background of these works' origin mirroring the then piety which reflected the respect for relics.

In this context seems to be important showing the relics of an Feast of Corpus Christi, which was, in the manner of Prague festivities, held annually in the residential town of the Rožmberk dynasty, the city of Český Krumlov, and interconnected both functionally and spiritually individual monasteries of South Bohemia.
