Meet the fate of the Šternberk family - one of the oldest and most important noble families, whose beginnings in Bohemia and Moravia date back to the first half of the 13th century. Representatives of this family have significantly enrolled in our history, supported science and art and left significant monuments. The first monograph on the Šternberk family since 1824 has been intended for the widest public. It brings information about the history of the family, prominent personalities, heraldry and the Genealogy of the Sternbergs, but also of almost thirty castles, chateaux and palaces that are associated with them. The book is complemented by a number of color and archive black and white photos and an overview of pedigrees.
