Hostim: Hotels and Accommodation

The “Jevišovicko in the Footsteps of Raduit de Souches” cycling route passes through Hostim. The Jevišovický Circuit I, a circular cycling route through Jevišovice, Olbramkostel and Hostim, also runs through the village.

The château in Hostim is a free-standing, four-winged masonry building arranged around a trapezoidal courtyard. Access is via a brick bridge over the moat surrounding the building and the adjacent farm buildings.

The Chapel of the Holy Cross stands in the Hostim cemetery. It was built in 1809 by Countess Eleonora de Meraviglia, the owner of the local estate; Eleonora de Meraviglia is also buried there. The chapel is a valuable example of late Baroque funerary architecture with Classicist details and a defining building of the important historic cemetery complex.

The Bukovina castle ruins in Hostim stand above the Nedveka stream on the site of a stone castle that was the seat of the Lords of Bukovina in the first half of the 14th century. In the vicinity of Hostim, the Bukovina castle ruins also survive as a castle complex with a keep-ground-plan and residential tower, preserved in fragmentary form from the period spanning the 14th century to the first half of the 15th century.

Other buildings include the former brewery complex in Hostim, a fully preserved example of rural economic architecture in South Moravia, as well as a group of five wayside shrines in the vicinity of Hostim, which is a valuable testimony to small-scale vernacular religious architecture. The rectory is a monumental, two-storey, Classicist building of considerable art-historical value.

The Baroque granary in Hostim dates from the 18th century and is one of the few surviving multi-storey grain stores. It is also a significant architectural landmark on the hill above the village. The statue of St John of Nepomuk, a high-quality small-scale High Baroque religious sculpture with a pedestal, stands in the village square.

The former Radkovský water mill still retains part of its millrace. The Radkovský water mill is also one of the few surviving mills built on waterways in open countryside.
