Nove Hrady
Nové Hrady has served as a border town in southern Bohemia since the late Middle Ages. It stands in the Stropnice River valley, close to the Austrian frontier, and developed around a Gothic castle founded in the 13th century. The castle later became the seat of the Buquoy estate, whose owners left a long mark on the town. A compact historic centre brings together the main square, the Church of Saints Peter and Paul, and modest town buildings. Woodlands and rolling ground of the Novohradské Mountains begin beyond the town; the range continues across the border into Austria. This is a quieter corner of the South Bohemian Region, shaped by its frontier setting.

Tucked along the Stropnice River at the foot of the Novohradské Mountains, Nové Hrady is a town whose character is shaped by its position near the Austrian border. Its compact historic centre developed around the Gothic Nové Hrady Castle, first documented in 1279 and later associated with the Buquoy family, who held the estate for centuries. Just beyond the centre, the landscaped Terčino údolí valley follows the Stropnice through woodland and meadows, reflecting the area’s long connection with aristocratic park design.

The terrain of Czechia ranges from fertile lowlands in southern Moravia to mountain ridges along the northern frontier, giving this Central European country a distinctly varied geography. The Vltava runs through Prague before joining the Elbe, while the Krkonoše form part of the border with Poland and include Sněžka, Czechia’s highest mountain. Prague’s historic centre, with Prague Castle and Charles Bridge, reflects the city’s long role as a political and cultural centre.
