Habřina: Hotels and Accommodation

Culture and History

The Cemetery Church of St. Wenceslas in Chloumek was originally built in the Gothic style in the 14th century. At the end of the 16th century, it was rebuilt in the Renaissance style and given a Baroque exterior in 1702. The church contains a marble figurative epitaph by J. Bedřich Rodovský of Hustířany, dating from 1594. Since 1964, the church complex, together with the bell tower, gravedigger’s house and perimeter wall, has been listed as an immovable cultural monument (Register No. 30593/6-600).

Castles and Archaeological Sites

The Vražba fortress site has an oval ground plan and is surrounded by a rampart and a ditch. The Vračba (Vražba) fortress, whose remains are locally known as Na zámečku, stood on a wooded spur above the left bank of the Hustířanka, less than 1 km from the centre of the present-day municipality of Habřina.

The Hrad Neznášov/Rotemberk archaeological site is located on a wooded spur 280 to 300 metres long and 15 to 40 metres wide on the left bank of the Hustířanský potok, approximately 1.4 km north of the built-up area of Habřina. A relief remnant of the perimeter fortification and the remains of a presumably round tower have survived at the archaeological site. The oval core of Rotemberk is surrounded by a ditch; a well is located on its southeastern side.

Historical Traces

At the former mill site in Kouty, an iron cross stands over the grave of a Prussian lieutenant. A stone single-arch bridge over the Hustířanka, protected as a monument since 11 September 1995, dates from 1785.

Routes and Connections

The complex of St. Wenceslas Church in Chloumek is currently accessible via a network of paths running in the immediate vicinity of the site. A blue-marked hiking route now connects the spa towns of Velichovky with significant and historic places in the surrounding area, including the Rotenberg hillfort, and runs north of Chloumek towards Černožice. Cycle paths lead from Habřina to Holohlavy and onward to the Hradec Králové–Kuks cycle path, which they join at the Labe.
