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
What defines Český Šternberk is the castle keeping watch over river bends and forested hillsides, much as it has for centuries. Noble heritage, a gentle rural rhythm, and a calm scenic pulse give the village a character that’s quietly, 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.
