Křenice: Hotels and Accommodations

Křenice combines a chapel on the hill above the village, a medieval fortress, and historic rural buildings with a location on a landscape boundary. Cycle route 2099 also runs through the village.

Culture and Historic Buildings

The Chapel of the Virgin Mary in Křenice was built in 1873 and stands on a hill above Křenice. It is a local landmark.

Křenice Fortress was built in the Gothic style in the 13th century. In the 18th century, it was converted into a granary; remnants of Renaissance sgraffito are visible in places on its original exterior masonry. The fortress is privately owned and not open to the public.

The Křenice No. 15 homestead consists of a masonry granary connected to a gate dated 1938, as well as a large masonry barn and stables arranged at right angles. The homestead itself is a rectangular, single-storey residential building, partly constructed using timber framing, with a three-part floor plan.

The Běleč mountain, Chlumec hill [Křenice-Přetín], and Ptenínská hora hill [Ptenín] are located in the vicinity of Křenice. The Pohoří mountain lies in the wider regional surroundings of Křenice.
