Štíty: Hotels and accommodations

The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary was built in 1755 in the late Baroque style and acquired its present domed tower design in 1912. On the square behind today’s town hall stands the Marian column dating from 1716; it is associated with the end of a plague epidemic.

The former town hall is a 16th-century building and part of the original development of Štíty’s historic town center. Štíty probably originated as a small subject town below Šilperk Castle, which stood behind today’s church.

On the northern side of the church is the Calvary group, an Empire-style sculpture dating from 1808. The former prison was built in 1867; its barred cell windows are still visible today. The building is best viewed from the staircase near the health center.

The Štíty Tourist Information Center provides, among other things, train and bus timetables.

The Acrobat Park of Olympic champion Aleš Valenta is a multifunctional sports center in Štíty that is open to the general public. Regional cycling route 521 leads from Moravská Třebová to Štíty.

The Štíty–Na Zámecký vrch walking trail begins in the town square and leads through hilly woodland. Along the way, the route descends steeply through the forest for a long stretch to the road to Jedlí and then continues to the weir on the Březná.

Hrádek “Na zámku,” also called Zámecký vrch, was one of three presumed medieval fortifications in the vicinity of Štíty and lies hidden in a shady forest above the Březná.
