Sightsedit
Centre of Stekník
The most important monument in the municipality is the Stekník Castle. In 1681, Jan Kulhánek (later promoted to lord of Klaudenstein) bought Stekník and had built the Baroque castle on the site of a former fortress. During the rule of his grandson Jan František between 1760 and 1772, the castle was rebuilt in the Rococo style. Today the castle is owned by the state and offers guided tours.[6]
The village of Stekník is protected as a village monument zone for its valuable set of preserved vernacular architecture. All the historic buildings of the village show specific features that demonstrate their use for drying and processing hops.[7]
