Stráž nad Nežárkou is situated at an altitude of 450 m on the river Nežárka in South Bohemia. The origins of the town go back to a castle that built in the second half of the 13th century to protect a ford across the river. The settlement soon developed into a town which was first mentioned in 1350.
