Culture and history

Škodějov was the birthplace of Karel Farský, one of the co-founders of the Czechoslovak Hussite Church. The upper wooden bell tower in Příkrý contains an original bell from the first half of the 18th century.

The listed Cottage No. 64 at Kozí roh dates from 1869 and is a well-preserved example of the timbered folk architecture of the Podkrkonoší region. The bell tower in Škodějov forms a picturesque rural ensemble with the adjacent timbered farmstead on the municipal road to Háje nad Jizerou.

The Škodějov water-fort site has a partially preserved outer rampart in the western part of the village, northwest of House No. 4. It is a square earthwork with side lengths of 18 metres and a former moat 6 to 12 metres wide.

The wider surrounding region

The wider regional surroundings of Příkrý include Valdštejn Church, the Spalona Stražnica ruins and Lázně Church.
