Sternberk

Šternberk Castle, a national cultural monument, anchors this compact Moravian town in the Olomouc Region of Czechia, founded in the 13th century around a fortress guarding a key crossroads of trade routes. The historic centre is protected as an urban monument zone and holds an above-average concentration of churches for its size. The town sits on the Sitka Stream at the edge of the Nízký Jeseník range, with scenic upland terrain to the north and the Upper Morava Valley opening to the south.
