Kamenický Šenov: Hotels and Accommodation

Kamenický Šenov has an almost three-hundred-year tradition of uninterrupted crystal chandelier production.

Glass and Architectural History

The permanent exhibition of the Kamenický Šenov Glass Museum traces the development of engraved and cut glass from the 17th century to the present day. It includes historicist crystal chandeliers with pendants and layered light fixtures; the region’s tradition of producing this type of lighting dates back to 1724.

The town’s history also includes the Baroque Church of the Nativity of St John the Baptist in Kamenický Šenov, dating from 1718, as well as the restored Old Cemetery. It contains Rococo and Neoclassical tombstones dating from around the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries.
