Horažďovice: Hotels and Accommodation

Horažďovice Castle is the dominant feature of the historic town center and serves as a venue for cultural activities. This historical focus is complemented by the Church of St. Peter and Paul, which was built between 1260 and 1273 and remodeled in the Baroque style between 1700 and 1720. It houses a Madonna dating from 1775 and a Gothic, chalice-shaped baptismal font.

Culture and History

The Horažďovice Town Museum is located at Mírové náměstí 11, in the castle. This places the museum and castle at the same historic site, while the Church of St. Peter and Paul preserves further concrete evidence of the town's history.

Experiences
