Laškov: Hotels and Accommodations

Laškov can initially be understood through two prominent buildings: The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary was built in 1612 and is protected as a cultural monument. Laškov Chateau originated from a Gothic fortress, the ground plan of which has been partially preserved in the center. On the occasion of the imperial maneuvers in the Konice area, Emperor Franz Joseph I chose the chateau as his temporary residence in 1887.

Visitors to the Koupací biotop Laškov can use a designated parking area on the premises of the agricultural cooperative.

Culture and History

Another historical connection is the so-called “Polish Road.” It is believed that one branch of this route ran from Prague via Litomyšl, Jevíčko, Konice, Krakovec and Náměšť na Hané to Olomouc from the second half of the 10th century until the beginning of the 13th century, and then continued north through the Moravian Gate toward Poland.

The memorial sites in the Laškov area include the “Pomník obětem 1. a 2. světové války” monument and the “Pomník obětem 1. světové války” monument. Also located in the area are the “Socha sv. Jana Nepomuckého” monument and the “Kostel sv. Andělů strážných” church.

Spiritual Sites

The present-day Baroque Chapel of Saint Anthony of Padua in Krakovec was built on Světina Hill between 1682 and 1686. Fatima devotions have been held in the Chapel of Saint Anthony above Krakovec for more than 15 years. These devotions include a candlelight procession with the statue of Our Lady of Fatima and the recitation of the Rosary.

Outside Krakovec, by the Chapel of the Virgin Mary on the road to Laškov, there is a stone cross dedicated to Saints Cyril and Methodius.
