Skalsko: Hotels and Accommodation

The complex of St. Havel's Church is located on a raised hilltop in the center of Skalsko.

Culture and History

St. Havel's Church is a single-nave Baroque building dating from 1733–1734. Its complex includes an enclosing wall, an entrance gate, a bell tower, and the grounds of the former cemetery. The church was created by rebuilding an older Gothic church.

Architecturally, the church consists of a rectangular nave, a recessed semicircular presbytery, a chapel, and a sacristy.

A Slavic fortified settlement was located on the rocky spur of Zadní Hrádek in the northeastern part of Skalsko. Zadní Hrádek, located near Skalsko, is also a natural monument. Archaeological evidence from Skalsko suggests that the site was connected with the vanished settlement of Skály, which probably belonged to the possible Slavic fortified settlement of Skála near Zadní Hrádek.
