Škvorec – Castle, Church and Višnovka Nature Park

Škvorec combines an extensive castle complex with the late Baroque Church of Saint Anne. The castle complex stretches from the northwestern part of the municipality to its centre; the two main buildings, the so-called Old Castle and the so-called New Castle, form the western side of the large lower square opposite the church. The protected castle complex includes the former farmyard, the surrounding wall with gates, the castle park and the areas of the enclosed grounds.

Architecture, history, nature, paths and religious occasions are distinct themes that you can consider separately when planning your day. Different focal points can be compared without combining them into a single type of activity.

The so-called New Castle is a single-storey elongated building with a thirteen-axis wing and an adjoining chapel. It is connected to the corner of the Old Castle by a broad connecting wing. The Church of Saint Anne was built in the late Baroque style between 1759 and 1767 and adjoins a cemetery with a cemetery chapel or mortuary.

The church is listed in the Czech Central Register of Immovable Cultural Monuments under number 36016/2–2170. On 13 December 1497, Jan Škvorecký z Klinštejna received a privilege from King Vladislaus II that elevated Škvorec to a market town and permitted weekly markets every Friday.

The landscape includes Višnovka Nature Park, which was created from a historic orchard. Near Třebohostice there is also the former, now flooded Lom Na plachtě quarry. It is protected as a natural monument covering an area of 0.7918 hectares.

The Lom Na plachtě natural monument has protected granite outcrops with flooded quarry depressions since 1990. For your own day planning, the park, rock formations and water can be kept as distinct nature themes alongside one another. This helps compare focal points without combining them into a single landscape type.

The Hmyzí trail runs in the context of the host municipality from Třebohostice to Zlatá and back. It is approximately 3 km long and includes 10 stations.

From Škvorec, you can join cycling paths in the direction of Úvaly; the paved paths are also suitable for inline skating. A Svatoanenská pouť announced in Škvorec on the occasion of the Feast of Saint Anne began with a Mass in the Church of Saint Anne; a pilgrimage celebration was then scheduled at the U Zálabských inn.

For planning purposes, the focal points can be considered alongside one another according to form of movement, route length and occasion: a route with stations, paved paths and a church-related event.

When comparing hotels in Škvorec, you can review travel dates, room category and cancellation conditions side by side. This information gives the comparison a practical structure, while culture, nature, paths and religious occasions provide different focal points.
