Starý Maletín: Hotels and Accommodation

Starý Maletín lies in a depression almost entirely surrounded by forests in the western part of the Mírovská vrchovina Highlands. The appearance of the village combines this landscape with a long history of Maletín sandstone and several preserved examples of sacred and architectural heritage.

History

Since the 16th century, sandstone was quarried in the area around Maletín and was later increasingly used as a material for major buildings and sculptural works. Emilie Schindlerová was born in Starý Maletín on 22 October 1907.

Culture

The parish Church of St Nicholas in Starý Maletín dates from 1804–1805; its grounds include a cemetery, a boundary wall and gates. The church grounds also include a stone cross of local origin from 1750, located by the rectory. The cemetery boundary wall dates from the early 19th century.

The Calvary ensemble is located in the cemetery behind the Church of St Nicholas and dates from 1848. It depicts Christ on the cross, as well as Mary Magdalene, Our Lady of Sorrows and Saint John the Evangelist. In the centre of the village stands the Baroque Marian Column, a sculpture from 1725 that was supplemented in 1883.

The historic appearance of the village also includes a Baroque statue of Saint John of Nepomuk from the second quarter of the 18th century, attributed to the sculptor J. H. Heintz, as well as House No. 1. This building of brick vernacular architecture from the first half of the 19th century is richly decorated with Maletín sandstone and has a portal dating from 1839.
