Předboj: Hotels and accommodation

Culture and history

The Hus Monument was erected in 1915 to mark the 500th anniversary of the burning of Jan Hus. In 2021, a new relief featuring a portrait of Jan Hus was installed on the monument after the original relief was stolen in 2015.

The Chapel is a niche chapel on the outskirts of Předboj in the direction of Prague and dates from around 1800. The Cross was erected in 1864 directly next to the Bell Tower. Both were completely restored in 2021 as part of the park's redesign; a new bell was installed in the Bell Tower.

The Fortress in Předboj was probably built in the 14th century and was first mentioned in writing in 1383. Since 1958, it has been registered as a cultural monument under number 46191/2-4143.
