Šternberk Castle, Gothic castle in Central Bohemia, Czech Republic

The castle stands on a granite cliff above the Sazava River with two defensive towers connected by a long palace structure.

Zdeslav of Divisov constructed the castle in 1241, establishing it as the ancestral seat of the Sternberg family for generations to come.

The Knights Hall contains Renaissance furniture, Baroque paintings, and copper engravings depicting events from the Thirty Years War.

The castle offers guided tours through 15 rooms filled with period furniture, artwork, and historical artifacts from eight centuries.

During the Communist era, the castle owner provided guided tours of his own residence while living under restricted conditions.
