Králův Dvůr: Hotels and Accommodation

Králův Dvůr combines striking architectural history with walks and destinations of natural interest. Highlights include Králův Dvůr Castle, Koukolova hora, and specific excursion options for different age groups.

History

Králův Dvůr Castle was created in the 16th century by converting an earlier stone royal court. Its present appearance is the result of a Baroque reconstruction in the second half of the 18th century, probably attributed to Kilián Ignác Dientzenhofer.

Architecture

The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary is a single-nave Baroque building with a separate presbytery, a rectangular sacristy, and a distinctive tower. There are no guided tours of the castle. Its interior can be viewed during some events or at weddings held in the wedding hall there.

Things to Do

A yellow-marked hiking trail leads from Popovice railway station to Koukolova hora. Koukolova hora is a popular destination for walks; it is also home to the highest caves in the Český kras. The Zahořanský stratotype is also part of the site's natural-historical significance. It serves to protect a rock outcrop of the Zahořany Formation of the Czech Ordovician, with a typical fossil fauna.

Family Time

Lanové hřiště Počaply is freely accessible. It offers young children swings, slides, and various climbing elements. Older children can enjoy rope climbing elements and interactive features, as well as attractions that promote balance.

Events

The traditional town celebrations, Městské slavnosti, take place on the summer stage in the grounds of the Baroque castle in Králův Dvůr.
