Krepenice: Hotels and Accommodation

The Krčín Fortress in Křepenice was completed in 1584 as a Renaissance fortress. Its surviving structural elements and historical details make the site a precisely documented testament to the history of the locality.

Culture

The protected components of Jakub Krčín’s fortress complex include the main building of the fortress, the northwestern building with its gate, the southwestern and southeastern buildings, the so-called sheepfold, the surrounding wall with the eastern gate, the northern utility building, the access bridge, and all plots within the complex. The Krčín Fortress retains a surrounding wall, two gates, and three tower-like corner bastions. Its central palace contains remnants of original wall paintings with mythological themes.

Křepenice is mentioned in a deed of donation dated 1045 for Břevnov Monastery, which is described as a 13th-century forgery. The chapel bell tower in Křepenice has a ground plan in the shape of half an irregular octagon. The privately owned Krčín Fortress can be visited by arrangement with the owners.
