Culture and History

At the end of the 16th century, Zikmund Kunrat Vrchotický z Loutkova converted the fortress into a two-winged Renaissance château with a corner tower. Popelín’s granary dates from 1733 and is an example of high-quality Baroque architecture serving agricultural purposes.

The Chapel of the Virgin Mary in Popelín is a late Baroque building in the centre of the former Baroque spa complex. Near the former château stands a group of Atlantes sculptures made of shell limestone, dating from the first half of the 18th century. On Popelín’s village square, a statue of Saint John of Nepomuk also commemorates the valuable work of a rural master stonemason from around 1730. A sundial can be seen on the church in Popelín.
