Šilheřovice: Hotels and Accommodation

In Šilheřovice, historic architecture, a large park, designated natural areas and golfing come together. The town therefore combines several clearly recognizable themes without its character being reducible to a single attraction.

Culture and History

Rothschild Castle was built between 1787 and 1815 in the Romantic historicist style. The Šilheřovice castle park also contains a hunting lodge.

Another historic building is the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in Šilheřovice. It was built in 1713 by the Jesuit college in Opava. A restored stone gravestone from the late 16th century is set into its exterior wall. In 1764, the church received three bells from the workshop of Opava bell founder František Stanke.

Park and Nature

The 98-hectare English-style park of Šilheřovice features rare woody plants. A circular trail several kilometres long runs around the entire Šilheřovice castle park. The park contains the artificially created Podzámecký and U loveckého zámečku ponds, as well as Lake Evelinino jezero.

The natural area also includes Černý les, which is characterized by a natural beech stand. In 1970, the two nature reserves Černý les I and Černý les II were established in its area. From Šilheřovice Castle, Černý les can be reached via a green-marked hiking trail.

The avenues around the Šilheřovice castle park are home to the critically endangered hermit beetle (Osmoderma eremita).

Golf in the Castle Park

The publicly accessible golf course can be played without taking the so-called Green Card skills and knowledge tests. The park also contains the 9-hole Rothschild Academy, where complete beginners can play as well.
