Jindřichov Ve Slezsku: Hotels and accommodations

Jindřichov Ve Slezsku combines a castle with local heritage, sacred architecture and paths through a valley enclosed by mountains. Jindřichov Castle was built in the second half of the 17th century by the Hodic of Hodice family and acquired its present Empire-style appearance after being rebuilt following a fire in 1844.

Culture

The Small Jindřichov Museum is located on the first floor of the castle. It displays photographs and objects relating to Jindřichov’s pre-war and post-war history, the local castle and brewery, and the everyday life of the local population. A tour route in the castle includes, among other things, the Knights’ Hall, the library, an exhibition of historic toys and the museum.

The history of brewing is also part of the character of the town: a brewery was established in Jindřichov in 1589, making it one of the very first breweries in Moravia.

Today’s Church of St. Nicholas was designed based on the model of a Roman basilica and is documented in archival sources as early as 1672. It has three naves and a prismatic tower; it is surrounded by a wall with Baroque statues of Saint John of Nepomuk and Saint Florian.

In the district of Arnultovice there is a newly restored masonry chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary. There is also a listed rural house from the 18th century and a free-standing, board-clad barn from the 19th century; both buildings are protected monuments.

The Swedish Chapel near Jindřichov is an example of high-quality folk architecture from the last quarter of the 19th century. It is located north of Jindřichov on pastureland near the Polish border. Near the main entrance to the castle grounds on the main road stands a monumental Baroque Marian column with additional figures of saints, dating from 1757. The Marian ensemble is an artistically valuable protected monument complex.
