geography

Neighboring towns are Plavsko , Vydří , Příbraz and Pístina . The municipality extends to the southeast to the Stankau pond and the Austrian border.

history

A castle was first mentioned in 1284 at the place of a lookout above the Nežárka, the late Gothic tower of which is still preserved today. The castle was built by the lords of Stráž , a branch of the lords of Neuhaus founded in 1267 . In the 14th century, the Burgflecken was raised to the market. The Gothic parish church of St. Peter and Paul is first mentioned in 1361.

Heinrich von Stráž, who professed his Utraquism , held the office of Oberstlandhofmeister under King Georg von Podiebrad . With his son Georg / Jiřík, the von Stráž family died out in 1474 . Subsequently, the owners changed frequently. At the beginning of the 16th century, the place belonged to the Kuttenberg entrepreneur Wenzel Wenzelik von Wrchowischt ( Václav Vencelík z Vrchoviště ). In 1577 it was owned by Johann d. Ä. von Lobkowitz, who sold it to Oberstburggrafen Wilhelm von Rosenberg that year . From this it was inherited in 1592 by his brother Peter Wok von Rosenberg , who subsequently fought against economic bankruptcy. To help him, Adam II von Neuhaus bought Stráž shortly before his death in 1596. His son Joachim Ulrich von Neuhaus , the last male descendant of the von Neuhaus family, donated the Stráž estate to his brother-in-law Wilhelm Slavata in 1602 , whose descendants stayed there until 1693.

After the castle burned down in 1570, a castle was built in its place after 1715. Shortly after 1800, Karl von Leonhardi bought the facility. From 1914 to 1930 it was owned by the opera singer Ema Destinová .

In 1876 the market town was elevated to a town by Emperor Franz Joseph I. After the Second World War the city rights were lost. Stráž has been a town again since 2006.
