Šumvald: Hotels and accommodation

Šumvald can be explored through tangible traces of cultural history, its watery landscape, and music. A prominent cultural landmark is the Church of St. Nicholas: in Šumvald, it is listed in the state register of immovable cultural monuments and is also a valuable single-nave Gothic church from the mid-14th century, which was remodelled in 1972.

Culture and history

In front of the parish church stands the highly valuable Baroque statue of Saint John of Nepomuk from 1725. In the Břevenec district, the Chapel of Saint Anthony of Padua has been protected as a cultural monument since 18 July 2007.

Šumvald is also associated with figures from music and literature: the parents of the composer Franz Lehár came from the village. The prematurely deceased poet of the period of national revival, Aleš Balcárek, is among the personalities associated with Šumvald. The Kruh přátel hudby Šumvald organises ten classical music concerts in Šumvald every year.
