Get to know the fate of the Šternberk family - one of the oldest and most important noble families, whose origins in Bohemia and Moravia date back to the first half of the 13th century. Representatives of this family made a significant mark in our history, supported science and art, and left significant monuments. The first monograph on the Šternberk family since 1824 is intended for the broadest public. It provides information on the history of the family, important personalities, heraldry and genealogy of the Šternberks, but also on almost three dozen castles, chateaux and palaces that are associated with them. The book is complemented by a number of color and archive black-and-white photographs and an overview of family trees.
