Stráž nad Nežárkou

Stráž nad Nežárkou (German: Platz an der Naser) is a town in Jindřichův Hradec District in the South Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic.

Stráž nad Nežárkou consists of three municipal parts (in brackets population according to the 2021 census):[2] Stráž nad Nežárkou is located about 10 kilometres (6 mi) southwest of Jindřichův Hradec and 32 km (20 mi) east of České Budějovice.

The western part of the municipal territory lies within the Třeboňsko Protected Landscape Area and is rich in fishponds.

In 1715–1735, the Slavatas of Chlum and Košumberk ruled Stráž, which was temporarily a separate estate during this period.

In 1715, after most of the castle was destroyed by a fire, it was rebuilt into its present Baroque form and only a tower from the third quarter of the 13th century survived.
