Český Šternberk is dominated by its medieval castle, still owned by the Šternberk family. Its scenic setting and quiet charm make it a peaceful stop in Central Bohemia.

Our Impression
Český Šternberk feels serene and beautifully anchored – a village shaped by river bends, forested hillsides, and a castle that has watched over the landscape for centuries. Its blend of noble heritage, gentle rural rhythm, and a calm scenic pulse gives it a textured, distinctive character that feels unmistakably Bohemian.

Did You Know…
The Castle of Český Šternberk has been continuously owned by the Šternberk family for nearly 800 years – one of the longest uninterrupted noble holdings in Europe.

P.S. For the most striking view of the castle’s silhouette, cross to the opposite bank of the Sázava River – the entire fortress rises above the water in a way that feels almost storybook.
