Střekov Castle
Střekov Castle was built in 1316 on what was an important trade route along the Elbe River. The Castle came into Lobkowicz hands in 1563 and, except for modern periods of confiscation by the Nazi and Communist regimes, it has remained in the family ever since. Well-known today as the place where Richard Wagner conceived his opera Tannhäuser, Střekov Castle is renowned for its impressive views and remains one of the most visited cultural monuments in North Bohemia.
No visit to the castle is complete without a stop at Kovárna Restaurant, which is open year-round. For more information, please visit Restaurant Kovarna.
