Fortification | Lookout towers
The southern bastion of Český Šternberk Castle, the so-called "famine bastion", is part of an ingenious fortification system built at the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries by the highest land judge Petr Holický of Sternberg and completed by his son Jan. Today it is open to visitors of the castle and offers an interesting view of the Sázava valley and partly of the castle itself.
