About Straz nad Nezarkou
Stráž nad Nežárkou is a small town on the Nežárka, at about 450 metres in the Třeboň Basin. It was first recorded in 1284 and only became a town in 1876. The castle began as a Gothic building; after a fire in 1715 it was rebuilt in Baroque form, and only a 13th-century tower survived. The soprano Emmy Destinn owned it from 1914 until her death in 1930, and today it is open to the public with a museum about her. The Gothic church of Saints Peter and Paul dates from 1413. The western part of the municipality lies in the Třeboňsko Protected Landscape Area and is full of fishponds. The homes stand together just outside the town.
