Oplocany: Hotels and accommodations

Oplocany combines traces of prehistoric times with a clearly recognizable townscape and a long, documented history. A human settlement existed near the Valová River around 2500 BC; Oplocany was first mentioned in written sources in 1131.

Townscape and sacred buildings

The Oplocany bell tower stands in the village square. In 2015, it was repaired with the support of the Czech Ministry for Regional Development. The local traditions and architectural history also include the Chapel of St. Arnošt in Oplocany, which was repaired as part of a project listed for 2024 to 2025 and co-financed by the Czech Ministry of Agriculture. In the Oplocany district of Arnoštov, there is a chapel in front of house no. 144.
