Střekov Castle

Built in the early 14th century, this Gothic fortress-like ruin is perched above the Elbe River, approximately 90 km north of Prague. Renowned for its breathtaking vistas, celebrated by Goethe and inspiring Richard Wagner, the castle remains one of North Bohemia’s most visited cultural monuments. Today it welcomes visitors for tours, festivals, children’s programs, and on-site dining at the castle restaurant.

The summer season at Střekov Castle is traditionally dedicated to Fairy Tale Sundays. Every month, the courtyard is transformed into a fairy-tale setting where beloved stories for the whole family are performed free of charge amid the castle’s magical atmosphere.
