Palkovice: Hotels and accommodations

The Palkovické hůrky Nature Reserve protects natural woodland typical of the northern foothills of the Moravian-Silesian Beskids.

Culture and architecture

The Church of Saint John the Baptist in Palkovice was built of stone in 1631. It is considered valuable architecture from the time of the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648), has a single nave, and features a vaulted presbytery.

The Chapel of Saint Maurice is a brick-built late Neoclassical chapel erected in 1851. It has a rectangular floor plan, a semicircular apse, and a gabled façade. Its exterior is articulated by pilasters and lesenes.
