Semín: Hotels and Accommodation

In 1691, a brewery was added to the original building of the Semín manor house; the building was remodeled and extended in the Baroque style. The dominant building of the manor house is also the birthplace of the architect Josef Gočár, who was born on March 13, 1880.

Culture and History

The Semín bell tower houses two historic bells cast in 1542 and 1606. A Hvozdový valach from the first half of the 19th century has been preserved on the grounds of the former castle brewery; it is one of the oldest known examples of its kind in the Czech Republic. The Hvozdový valach operates entirely without electrical energy and has been preserved, including its calorifers and hot-air ducts.

The Opatovický Canal is an impressive technical monument associated with Semín. The church in Semín was remodeled in the Baroque style in the second half of the 17th century and has retained this appearance to the present day.
