Štítina: Hotels and Accommodations

In Štítina, sacred architecture, historical traces, regional events, and marked cycling routes come together.

Culture and History

The Chapel of Saint Mary Magdalene is a cultural monument and sacred architecture designed in the Renaissance style on an octagonal floor plan. Masses are still celebrated there on July 22, the feast day of its patron saint.

Historical traces include the underground remains of the Gothic fortress of Štítina. It was later converted into a four-winged Renaissance manor house; the remains are considered valuable evidence of an important medieval aristocratic residence in the Opava region. The above-ground part was demolished in 1988.

The monument to Private Ivan Kubince is listed among the cultural monuments. It commemorates a soldier of the 1st Czechoslovak Armored Brigade who was tortured to death on April 18, 1945, during the liberation of Štítina.
