Nová Hradečná: Hotels and accommodations

In Nová Hradečná, historic buildings, surviving written and archaeological traces, local events, and the surrounding landscape exist side by side.

Culture and local history

The vicarage in Nová Hradečná is a registered immovable cultural monument. It was built between 1764 and 1768 by the then landowner, Prince Josef Václav Vavřinec of Liechtenstein. The Church of St. Lawrence, whose construction was completed in 1764, is also located in the village. Inside are historic Baroque organs from the pilgrimage church on Svatý Kopeček near Olomouc.

The church and cemetery are surrounded by a wall that is itself a cultural monument. Two sandstone gravestones of Schwarzenberg uhlans are set into the wall at the northern gate. Traces of an old hillfort have survived to this day in the cadastral area of Nová Hradečná. A Gothic manuscript of the Roman Missal from 1420 also contains historical notes by former parish priests.

Churches, chapels and traditions

The Chapel of St. Anthony of Padua in Hradec stands on the outskirts of Nová Hradečná and was extended by a small chancel in 1895. The Chapel of St. Anthony formed part of a pilgrimage route held regularly on 13 June; a Mass is celebrated in the chapel around the feast day of St. Anthony.
