Vendolí: Hotels and Accommodation

The protected heritage site of St. Andrew’s Church in Vendolí includes the church, the mortuary chapel, the associated grounds, and the boundary walls with chapels.

Culture

St. Andrew’s Church stands on a former cemetery enclosed by a boundary wall with chapels. The parish church was originally built in 1517 in the Late Gothic style and remodeled in the early Baroque style in 1693. The cemetery wall surrounding the church contains Neo-Renaissance reliefs of the Stations of the Cross from the second half of the 19th century.

The local cultural attractions include the Museum of Rural Crafts in Vendolí. It was ceremonially opened on July 5, 2006, as part of a gathering of former residents. The rooms were also used for Christmas exhibitions, including “Vánoční inspirace” in 2005 and a nativity scene exhibition in 2008.
