Zelená Hora Castle

Zelená Hora (literally "Green Mountain") is a castle in Klášter in the Plzeň Region of the Czech Republic.

The most notable owners of the castle and the estate were the Sternberg family, who acquired it around 1464 and held it until 1726.

[1] From 1726 to 1784, Zelená Hora was owned by the houses of Martinic (1726–1784), Colloredo-Mansfeld (1784–1852), and Auersperg (1852–1931).

After the castle was shortly owned by Czech private owners, it was confiscated by the state in 1938.

[1] In 1817, Václav Hanka's forged medieval Manuscript of Zelená Hora, a counterpart to his Manuscript of Dvůr Kralové, was allegedly discovered in the castle and not exposed as a literary hoax, by Atheneum, until 1886.
