Rejštejn: Hotels and Accommodations
Rejštejn lies in the Otava Valley, where the Losenice flows into the Otava. Its historical development can be traced back to gold panning and gold mining; in 1584, the town was elevated to a royal mining town.
History and Culture
The Baroque Church of St. Bartholomew features a carved acanthus altar and a Gothic bell from the late 14th century. It was first built in 1579 by miners. The villa of the Spaun family in Rejštejn dates from 1904 and was designed by Leopold Bauer; it can only be viewed from a distance.
The iridescent Art Nouveau glass from the glassworks in Klášterský Mlýn became world-famous. A statue of St. John of Nepomuk from 1883 stands on the road to Kvilda. Several novels and short stories by Karel Klostermann are connected with Rejštejn.
