In a country with one of the highest densities of castles in the world, this one hits slightly above average in its dramatic position. Flanking the Sazava river, the castle is one of the oldest, owned by its founding family, the Šternberks. You can enter the interior for a 250 CZK or simply scale the perimeter and courtyard to ensconce yourself in their café-cum-restaurant. Getting up close to the crenelated battlements gives visitors a fine view of the small town below. #castle #history #architecture
