Hochstadt An Der Iser: Hotels and Accommodations

History and Culture

In 1880, the 64-year-old farmer František Metelka from house no. 25 built the Chapel of St. Anne on his property. It was consecrated on August 1 and endowed with a foundation. The glassmaking trade of the glassworks gave the emerging settlement the name Sklenařice. In 1376, the Quayserova glassworks supplied glass for the construction of the local church by the canon Hanuš from Hlohov. In connection with the historical glassmaking industry, a glass-covered stone and glassmakers' pots made of roughly hewn stones were found.
