Český Šternberk Castle

Prague

Perched on a massive rocky spur above the Sázava River valley, Český Šternberk Castle stands about 50 kilometres southeast of Prague on the historic royal road to Brno. The castle dates back to 1241, when Zdeslav ze Šternberka initiated its construction, making it one of the oldest surviving fortifications in Bohemia. What sets it apart is that it remains in the possession of the Counts of Sternberg, who still live there — a rare continuity of nearly 800 years of family history. Open to visitors, the castle offers Gothic and Baroque interiors alongside dramatic views over the forested river gorge. A classic day-trip destination from Prague.

Hazmburk Castle (Hasenburg)

Prague

Hazmburk is one of the most distinctive peaks in the Bohemian Central Highlands and is regarded as the landmark of the entire region. On its summit stand the ruins of the Gothic castle of Hazmburk, built around 1300 and the ancestral seat of the Bohemian noble family Zajíc of Hasenburg. The ruin with its two prominent towers — a round keep and a rectangular residential tower — is a popular hiking destination and rewards a short ascent with a spectacular panorama across the Ohře valley and the Bohemian lowlands to distant ridges. The castle was an important lordly residence in the Middle Ages; today it invites visitors to a memorable combination of history and natural experience.

Tocnik Castle

Prague

Tocnik Castle is a striking ruin in the Beroun District of Bohemia, built around 1400 by order of King Wenceslaus IV as his private hunting retreat. The complex sits picturesquely above the older castle of Zebrak, with which it is jointly protected as a national cultural monument. The irregular late-Gothic layout gives the ruins a raw, dramatic character. The site is freely accessible and offers lovely views of the Bohemian countryside. The Tocnik-Zebrak twin castle ensemble ranks among the finest medieval castle groupings in Central Bohemia.
