Jicineves: Hotels and Accommodations
In Jičíněves, Baroque château architecture and an expansive park landscape meet a local watercourse, a pond on the edge of the village, and protected nature in the surrounding area. The details range from architectural forms and chapel history to rare tree and plant species.
Architecture and History
Jičíněves Château was built for Count František Josef Schlik between 1715 and 1717, based on plans by Jean Baptiste Mathey. The three-storey Baroque building has a mansard roof and a small turret.
The Jičíněves château chapel is a single-nave building with a rectangular floor plan and a presbytery. The château chapel “Zámecká kaple sv. Antonína Padovského a Nalezení sv. Kříže” was added to the north side of Jičíněves Château in 1730 and consecrated to Saint Anthony of Padua and the Holy Cross. In 1776, the château chapel was opened to the public.
The statue “socha sv. Václava” is also part of the local architectural and commemorative culture. It is made of light sandstone, stands on a solid pedestal, and is located about 170 metres from the main Jičín–Kopidlno road, on the left side of the road towards Keteň. Jičíněves Château is not open to the public.
Nature
The “Jičíněves - zámek” Natura 2000 site protects the lesser horseshoe bat. Jičíněves Château lies in an extensive English landscape park with numerous rare and noteworthy trees.
A local watercourse running through Jičíněves feeds the Zámecký rybník on the eastern edge of the village. Zámecký rybník lies south of Jičíněves Château.
The protected natural monument Chyjická stráň lies in the wider surroundings of Jičíněves, between Chyjice and Dolany. The site provides a habitat for protected bird and plant species, including the golden lily and the white woodland hyacinth. About 96 percent of its area consists of oak-hornbeam forests and about 3 percent of ash-alder floodplain forests.
Historical Context
Jičíněves Château was historically connected to Kopidlno by a poplar avenue.
