Častolovice is a market town in the Hradec Králové Region of the Czech Republic. It has around 1,600 inhabitants.

The village lies 20 kilometers from Hradec Králové and was purportedly settled by Častolov of the Hronovec family in 1342. The main attraction of Častolovice is a renaissance-era castle which has been owned by the Sternbergs, a family of Czech nobles, for over 300 years. [http://www.radio.cz/en/article/57455]
