Křenov: Hotels and Accommodation

Křenovské hradisko is an early medieval fortified settlement on a flat elevation; its fortifications enclose an area of approximately 20 hectares.

Culture

The Chapel of Saint Isidore was built in 1707 on the initiative of the local priest and patron Johann Benedikt Schindler. Its richly decorated interior features stucco decoration with acanthus motifs and figurative wall paintings. Restoration of the sculptural and painted furnishings was completed in 2015.

A parish church dating from 1729 has been preserved in Křenov. Together with the parish church, the Křenov vicarage forms a significant urban ensemble. The Baroque vicarage is an architecturally valuable two-storey rural building with a mansard roof, built in the village green settlement. A statue of the Immaculata dating from before 1734 stands next to the vicarage.

The Fara Křenov Museum presents visitors with the life, culture and work of a clergyman in a small town from the 18th century to the present day. The Baroque Church of Saint John the Baptist is a distinctive landmark of Křenov and contains Baroque furnishings dating from 1730. Also notable in the townscape is the Baroque sculptural group of the Virgin Mary, Saint John the Baptist and Saint John of Nepomuk, created in 1727 and entered in the list of cultural monuments in 1964. A stone pillory dating from 1732 has also been preserved in the centre of Křenov.
