Choustnikovo Hradiste: Hotels and Accommodations

The historical landmarks in Choustníkovo Hradiště include an early medieval castle complex, a Baroque sacred building, and several memorial sites. Choustníkovo Hradiště Castle, later known as Palackým Choustníkovo Hradiště, was built at the beginning of the 14th century. It was strategically constructed on a high rocky promontory, where an Old Slavic hillfort had previously stood. The archaeological castle site has a three-part layout of the bergfried castle type.

Castle and Church

The Baroque Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross was built from 1760 to 1770 according to a design by the builder and architect Leopolda Niederöcker and consecrated on October 14, 1770. Beneath the tower is a crypt where, among others, nuns from the former convent and local priests are buried.

Memories of Sporck

In the park in front of the former Hotel Sporck, of which only a deteriorating building remnant remains today, a bust of Count Franz Anton Sporck stands on a high pedestal. The Sporck bust monument was unveiled on July 7, 1901. The Sporck monument now displays a copy of the bust; the original is located in the ceremonial hall of the municipal office in Choustníkovo Hradiště.
