Skapce: Hotels and Accommodation

Skapce is first mentioned in 1115 in the founding charter of Kladruby Monastery. The Kostel Nejsvětější Trojice is visible from far away and forms a distinctive landmark in the surrounding area.

Church and vicarage

The present-day Kostel Nejsvětější Trojice in Skapce is the result of a Baroque renovation carried out under the Kladruby abbot Amand Streer. The interior decoration by the painter J. Kramolín was completed in 1788. With its frescoes and valuable contemporary furnishings, the Baroque architecture is considered one of the most significant Baroque buildings in the Tachov region.

The vicarage next to the church was built around 1720 and served as the abbots’ summer residence until the dissolution of Kladruby Monastery. As a high-quality Baroque building, it forms a valuable historic ensemble together with the neighboring church.

Historical context

Kladruby Monastery owned Skapce until the dissolution of the monastery in 1785. The local tradition and the surviving architectural ensemble are therefore closely connected with the history of the monastery.

Small monuments

The wayside shrine “Boží muka” in Skapce dates from 1694. It consists of a granite base and shaft, a chapel-like upper section, and a stone cross.

A small chapel dedicated to Saint Lawrence has also been preserved on the outskirts of Krtín.
