Chlumín: Hotels and Accommodation

The Church of Saint Mary Magdalene was rebuilt in the Baroque style at its original location in 1732. It has a semicircular apse and a tower on the western side and also serves as an exhibition and concert hall. Chlumín has bus connections to Neratovice and Mělník.

Culture and History

The square in Chlumín is home to the Holy Trinity Column, donated by Anna Maria of Tuscany in 1729. The sculptural group was created by the sculptor Jan Pursch. The column was restored in 1958, 2000 and 2017.

The cemetery chapel was built in the 1930s to replace an earlier cross and is associated with a legend about a death caused by unrequited love. The memorial to those who fell in the First World War in Chlumín was ceremonially unveiled in 1923.

Chlumín Castle was remodeled in the Baroque style around the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries. A fortress probably already stood on the site of the castle in the first half of the 14th century.
