Klimkovice: Hotels and Accommodation

Zámek Klimkovice is a Renaissance château from the second half of the 16th century, rebuilt after fires in 1854 and 1945. The château houses the Muzeum Poodří and the city's information centre. The second floor features exhibitions on the city's history and present, the natural conditions of the Poodří region, and a memorial to the painter Helena Salichová.

Culture and History

Kostel Nejsvětější Trojice is the oldest surviving historic building in Klimkovice. After extensive renovation, the church serves as a venue for exhibitions, concerts and other social events. The tower of Kostel sv. Kateřiny Alexandrijské is 64 centimetres off its axis and has ended with a low roof since the fire of 1854; the original Renaissance spire was not rebuilt. A Baroque chapel with a 25-metre-high dome was built beside the church between 1730 and 1738.

The historic memorial sites include the two Lípy osvobozených Klimkovic trees at Na Láni, planted in May 1946 in remembrance of the years 1918 and 1945, as well as the Lípa Bezručova tree at Na Láni. This lime tree was planted in 1958 on the occasion of the 80th birthday of the Silesian poet Petr Bezruč. The memorial to the victims of the First World War was created in 1925; the grounds around the memorial were last altered around 2018 on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the founding of Czechoslovakia. It commemorates 63 citizens of Klimkovice who died on the battlefields of the First World War far from their homeland.
